What was his complaint, asked the officer. On his way to work that morning, Dr. Pasztor replied, he had been stopped by an AVH agent. The accusation was all too common in an Austria filled with 20,000 uneasy Hungarian refugees; how could he be so sure the man was an AVH agent? "Because I know him," Pasztor answered quietly. "His name is Jozsef Teleki, and he was one of my interrogators during the seven years I was imprisoned by the Communists."

Cincinnati's Dr. Arthur G. King, an obstetrician with an eye for Labor Department statistics, sharply disagrees with the complaint that doctors' bills are out of control.

Then I took on the Renault line. If it wasn't for those little cars, I don't know if we could stay in business...
...only complaint is that such an experienced group with a traditionally high standard ought not to attempt such a large work on the side, so to speak, while it was preparing for the Boulanger concert. The Brahms Requiem deserves the full attention of any chorus. It also deserves an orchestra...
