...composer Antonio Caldara (1670-1736), is a showpiece cantata for four sopranos. It was commissioned by Archduchess Maria Theresa (later Empress of Austria) and performed at court by her and her sisters. The ladies must have minded their singing master to negotiate the runs and trills that ornament this gay, witty music about four bored young damsels desultorily playing cards and wishing that both their hands and their suitors were more exciting. The soloists and orchestra of the Societàa Cameristica di Lugano have just the right light touch for this delightful record...
...share one important fault: they lag far behind in reflecting the major tourist trends. One case in point is an almost generalized failure to report that the Iron Curtain countries have begun to welcome tourists-and are beginning to swing. Hungarian night life and restaurants are just about as gay as they were in the good old days. Bulgaria is plugging a two-week stay on the sunny Black Sea coast for $91, including air fare from Vienna. Another popular Vienna excursion: down the Danube by hydrofoil for a weekend in Budapest. In Berlin, Checkpoint Charlie has become a bustling...
...Gay is hardly the word these days for Gay Brewer Jr. A 34-year-old Texan with the face of a Boston terrier, Brewer has been a regular on the pro golf tour since 1956. He has won eight tournaments and $208,000, but most of his triumphs occurred in such obscure events as the Mobile Sertoma Open and the Hawaiian Open.

In last week's Tournament of Champions at the Desert Inn Country Club, Gay had a five-stroke lead with only 18 holes to go, and Las Vegas bookmakers were offering 7 to 1 that even Btfsplk Brewer could not blow that $20,000 title. They...
...rough on the par-five tenth, dubbed his second shot, knocked his third 20 ft. over the green, chipped 12 ft. short of the hole and missed the putt. He wound up with a 73, and Arnie's second straight 69 gave him a four-stroke victory. Gay tried hard to live up to his name as he accepted the second-place check for $12,000-giving him a total of $20,300 for ten days' work. That wasn't so bad, but his smile grew thin when he thought of what might have been. "You wouldn...
