Conductor James Walker assembled a concert program that was sophisticated by anyone's standards. Except for the Sousa-like Emblem of Unity at the beginning, the pieces performed were thoroughly twentieth-century, ranging in date from Kurt Weill's Kleine Dreigroschen-musik (1929) to Dello Joio's Variations on a Medieval Tune...

...major purpose of all the influx and indexing is the daily compilation of a slim white 8-in. by 10½-in. document that is delivered to the White House in a black CIA car every evening between 6 and 7 o'clock. It bears CIA's emblem stamped in blue, is entitled "The President's Daily Brief," usually runs between three and six pages of single-spaced type, and covers the key intelligence "get" of the day. At times, it may have included such fascinating data as the results of a urinalysis pinched from a Vienna...

Pagliacci for Papinta. It is a far cry from the raucous early days of the organization, the only reminder of which is the club's emblem: a naked girl slapping a tambourine.

Beginning next month, a favored few will be able to flash what promises to be the most patrician card of them all: a plastic ducat bearing the famed five-arrow emblem of the House of Rothschild and the blue-and-yellow racing colors of Guy Edouard Alphonse Paul de Rothschild, 57, head of the Paris branch of the family and of the grande dame of French banks, Rothschild...

...Birds. Just as in Holland, where Hals and Rembrandt painted citizen companies of harquebusiers, Polish burghers formed shooting fraternities. Their aim was to defend their city walls; more often they were social militias. Their targets were wooden birds atop staffs, a custom recalled in the Cracow fraternity's emblem, which was the gift of Sigismund Augustus in 1565, with its silver cock resplendent in royal crown and symbolically attached by a chain to its perch. Poland has been partitioned out of existence only to re-emerge as a nation, changed again under present-day Communism, but its ancient traditions...
