...Jackson, 35, as the first black and youngest mayor in the city's history inspired at least one departure from custom. In days gone by, mem bers of the tightly organized Atlanta power structure and their families and friends could comfortably accommodate themselves in the 200-seat aldermanic chamber. This week more than 6,000 people from all parts of the city were due to fill the 4,600-seat Civic Center auditorium and adjacent rooms to see Jackson, white City Council President Wyche Fowler and 18 city councilmen (nine white, nine black) sworn...

"It would be ideal if we never had to breathe-although Olivier's breathing never harmed his Hamlet." Even pausing for breath, the Dorian has achieved an increasingly secure rank as one of chamber music's most sparkling and eloquent ensembles. In 1969 Brooklyn College appointed its members to posts on the music faculty. At about the same time, the State University of New York assigned the group to a "floating residency" consisting of one-to four-day concert-lecture programs...
