Growing Up. Inherent in Garry's statement was the fact that 70 years of "Great White Father" paternalism has served only to perpetuate the Indian's own isolation in a fast-progressing, ever-changing country. Sympathetic bureau men are aware that their charges, now 500,000 strong (an increase of 250,000 since 1900), are held back by a desire to preserve their tribal identity and traditions and their confused distrust-sometimes justified-of the outside world...

...Life Without Wife. In India an estimated 50% of some 20 million Moslem women still cling to some form of the veil (sometimes just a bit of cotton draped over the head), but their numbers are dwindling fast. Says slim, bespectacled Mrs. Bilquis Ghuffran, a social worker who discarded her veil two years ago: "Everything will be all right in a generation."

This line is almost interchangeable with the second one of Bob McVey at center and Dave Vietze and Dick Fisher at the flanks.

...orchestra gave its guest soloist full support throughout. Except for some bad moments at the violin entrance, resulting from the fast tempo taken in the ritornello, Poto followed the soloist with amazing precision. While the orchestra did not play with as much expressiveness, rhythmic drive, and intensity as it might have, it at least supplied vigor and accuracy. The winds lapsed into insecure entrances and poor intonation at the beginning of the second movement, but their solos were generally good, especially those of oboist Michael Palmer. Miss Martzy received an immediate standing ovation at the end--a rare event...
