Where will the political recording business end? With Dirksen and Powell racing for their gold platters (1,000,000 albums sold), other political figures may well find the urge irresistible. J.

...years to provide staffing for the Center. The Medical School also has other large building needs. And we are still $800,000 short of the $2 million in added endowment we have been seeking for the Center for Renaissance Studies at the Villa I Tatti, Bernard Berenson's famous home near Florence. But even here there is no end to the list; for already other needs begin to appear...
