...G.O.P. its sweetest sweep anywhere in last week's election. Republicans seized both of Minnesota's seats in the U.S. Senate, took over the Governor's mansion and loosened the D.F.L.'s grip on the state legislature by gaining a tie in its lower chamber...

...season of celebration at Lincoln Center: not the opera this time or the ballet or symphony, but chamber music. The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, the smallest member of the musical circle, is observing its tenth anniversary in the grand manner of the Met.

An imposing, six-foot-long version was the focus of the society's "street fair" birthday evening on the New York State Theater Promenade. Musical...
