Time for Composing. As for Bernstein, he flies off this week to conduct Beethoven's Missa Solemnis for the 100th anniversary of the Vienna State Opera, "and that will be the end of my conducting until 1970." The new time found will be for composing. He will confer with Italian Director Franco Zeffirelli about a joint project - "almost a sort of filmed opera" - and he has a commission to do a musical theater work for the opening of Washington's Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in the fall...

At the same time, the number of families with incomes above $10,000 will rise from 15 million...

It all began last January when Arthur Present, a Civil Aeronautics Board examiner, recommended that the CAB end the airlines' "youth fares," which allow passengers from twelve to 22 to fly for half fare on a standby basis or for two-thirds fare with a reserved seat. Prodded partly by ailing intercity bus lines, Present found the discount fares "unjustly discriminatory." He did not reckon with the power of American students when they feel it is they who have suffered the discrimination...
