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.

...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.

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...
