...Elgar himself conducted when Yehudi Menuhin, as a prodigy of 16, first recorded this expansive, romantic showpiece. Recording techniques have come a long way since 1932, and Menuhin, at 50, has greater emotional involvement, as well as a marvelously burnished tone, now flashing, now fading in a wide-ranging display...
Ironically, what attracts the tourists is less the legend than the extravagant display. The name of Marion Davies, the good-natured ex-chorine who played hostess at San Simeon to a list of greats that included Winston Churchill, Calvin Coolidge, Bill Tilden and Garbo, is rarely mentioned. Hearst's private study, the seat from which he directed his empire, and the radio shack equipped with a radio-control tower and a complete switchboard through which he transmitted his orders, attract only passing interest.

Such cities as Portland, Ore., may still wait until the day after Thanksgiving to trim their streets, but Elmsford...
Johnny Walker Mark II, Formula IV, is not a new liquor. It's a car -- one of many on display at the New England international Automobile Show at the War Memorial Auditorium. About ten feet long and only two feet high and wide, bright red, tapering to a broad, flat snout, Johnny resembles a tongue kissing. As such, he is one of least sensual pieces in the show...
