...cost of $30 million, the building encompasses 8,000,000 cubic feet spread over nine floors. It houses 15 gigantic rehearsal rooms, three organ studios, 84 practice rooms, 30 private studios, two recital halls (including Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center's acoustically superb home for chamber music) and limitless vistas of plush, carpeted corridors and lobbies. There is also the thousand-seat Juilliard Theater. Its pop-up ceiling can be raised or lowered (up for big orchestras, down for small ensembles). Its pit stage is bigger than the New York State Theater's across the street...
BOSTON will enjoy the gifts of three conductors of the first magnitude this year: Seiji Ozawa, Claudio Abaddo, and Leon Kirchner; and Kirchner is providentially accessible to Harvard audiences as the conductor of the Boston Philharmonia.

They also added an extra circuit that automatically turns the telescope off when too much electric power is produced. The satellite can be turned back on again once the danger is past...
...alone explain the nation's unusually somber mood. When Georges Pompidou succeeded Charles de Gaulle three months ago, his countrymen were ready for a good long vacation. Except for the jolt of the franc's devaluation, they got it. But as the schools reopened, as the Chamber of Deputies resumed business in earnest, as "the season" in Paris began, 50 million Frenchmen were suddenly confronted with the sad fact that, from now on, their country is likely to play in the world a role greatly diminished from the one they had been led to expect.
