HOWARD HANSON: SYMPHONIES NO. 3 & NO. 6 (Delos). Gerard Schwarz, one of America's most lucid and least hackneyed conductors, leads the Seattle Symphony and the New York Chamber Symphony in galvanizing interpretations of these ruggedly intense, expansive and unapologetically romantic compositions that bare Hanson's musical debt to Sibelius and Grieg...

According to Gerard Cassidy, who follows the industry for the investment firm Tucker, Anthony, as many as 24 of the region's medium-size banks with assets of as much as $2 billion each could fail in 1991. Also under pressure is MNC Financial, a Baltimore-based banking company (assets: about $27 billion) that...
