...estate called Tanglewood. Wrote Hawthorne: "There is a glen between this house and the lake through which winds a little brook with pools, and tiny waterfalls over the great roots of trees . . . Beyond the lake is Monument Mountain, looking like a headless sphinx wrapped in a Persian shawl, when clad in the rich and diversified autumnal foliage of its woods." To the lush beauty of nature, Tanglewood added the spare beauty of modern architecture in 1938 with the 6,037-capacity Music Shed. This is Conductor Erich Leinsdorfs first season in the Shed, and he made his opening-week debut...
...sack only a short while ago now find themselves climbing right back into the sack's first cousin, the shift. Already a slender trend as winter waned, the shift really switched into high with the summer solstice. On beaches from Maine to Malibu, lissome Loreleis clad in the latest two-piece bathing suits arranged themselves across the sand, apparently to ponder such girth-shaking questions as: How is a girl going to look her best when she isn't looking her barest?

In a simpler period of Communist history, this might have passed almost unnoticed as the standard line, East or West. But now there was a sudden movement...
...looked like a revival of The Green Pastures. Or maybe a toga-clad troupe whooping it up in ancient Rome. But all those friends, Romans, and countrymen turned out to be simply the Order of the Biltmore Bath, gathered in Manhattan for a 75th-birthday celebration honoring James Aloysius Farley, grand old man of the Democratic Party and the Coca-Cola Co. Politically, says Farley, he is "not very active because I'm not invited to be." He nonetheless keeps in fighting trim with weekly sessions in a steam-filled room, "the one place where I can relax."
