...John Chafee warned fellow Republican moderates to "get hustling" for Romney. "Now," said Chafee, "is the time to speak up." If any new Romney fans did, their words were lost in the cha-cha beat. Lenore Romney pronounced Chafee "brilliant." The resolutions committee, meanwhile, was deliberating in a chamber aptly named the "children's playroom." The more controversial resolutions were either watered down or defeated...
...Atlanta Symphony has the makings of a first-rate organization. Helped by a $765,000 budget (twice that of 1965), Shaw has already bolstered the ranks with additional musicians, instilled greater rigor and purpose into rehearsals, formed a new 60-voice chorus, and expanded the season to include chamber music, an offbeat "Connoisseur Series" and some light promenade concerts.

Trumpeter Helmut Wobisch, the orchestra's manager, ascribes the sound in part to the peculiar nature of Vienna's brass instruments, wider in bore than those used in Ameri can, French and British ensembles, and handmade of exceptionally thin metal, producing a blendable tone without the usual cutting edge...
...knock, when it comes, transforms the room into a kind of torture chamber, in which the welts are raised by laughs. The put-on is a game in which the victim does not know either the rules or the stakes. The victim appears more helpless and the game more sinister in that two or three men usually tease, bully and mystify him. The Caretaker, for example, is an extended put-on: the old tramp Davies is led to believe by the two brothers, Mick...
