...noble poem for fully a decade before finally setting it to music, and the result is an unusual confluence of religious and musical feeling. In his last agony an old man is guided past the demons of hell by a protecting angel, who then sadly reveals that he must "dip in the lake of Purgatory" before he can see God. Janet Baker gives a warm performance as the angel, and Richard Lewis' exceptional gifts for phrasing carry him through a very wordy role...
...Spanish-style Granada Grill, with arched doorways and central fountain. In front, guests can wander onto an outdoor "cafe plaza," one floor below lobby level; in back, they can sip tall drinks beneath mustard-colored umbrellas in a Japanese-style formal garden crisscrossed with bridges, or take a dip in the swimming pool...

Preliminary figures for the first two months of this year show an even lower rate than for the same period in 1965. The fertility rate, which relates directly to the number of young people rather than to the population as a whole, has shown a slightly slower drop because the young, "fertile...
