...particular, he advocates broadening secondary school programs to include courses in listening and in musical literature, instead of just performing groups. He presents some specific recommendations for the content of these courses. Those in literature, he says, should not be surveys of everything from Gregorian to twelve-tone music, but should deal with a more specific group of compositions, emphasizing listening assignments rather than a textbook. Listening courses should study the sonorities of instruments, the texture of chamber music, and composers' individual peculiarities of style, and should stress the difference between program and non-program music.

...content, that's another story. Bergman fails because he requires his audience to analyze the welter of symbols; yet being the sum of the parts, the whole film comes close to being one big metaphor.

Where other leaders use their high-powered, government-owned radios for propaganda messages, Nyerere uses his to broadcast casual eco nomic lessons. Recently he translated Shakespeare's Julius Caesar into Swahili, and although after Caesar's assassination Cassius shouts "Uhuru...
...content with being wooed, Hong Kong is doing some wooing of its own. Last week a 56-man trade delegation was in Singapore trying to sell Hong Kong goods, and other delegations left for Europe and the U.S. The colony's aggressive salesmen hope to bring home the full order books needed to sustain Hong Kong's remarkable growth...
