...tossed to you. You've got to be a darned good generalist." To Johnson, the ideal staff man is one who "can do anything for you and do it fast"-and keep the boss happy by doing it with as little publicity as possible. In the glare of the klieg lights that focus on the press secretary, Moyers is hardly in the shadows any more, but he understands and shares Johnson's disapproval of headline-happy hired hands. Nor is L.B.J. unique in that respect. "The best way to stay out of trouble," John F. Kennedy once told...
Lest the spell of his glare be broken, Ormandy very rarely consults a score when conducting. He commits everything to memory, which in his case is a kind of built-in microfilm system that now encompasses more than a thousand compositions. Ormandy says he developed his powers of total recall as a child in his native Budapest. Father was a dentist who was determined that his son should be a great violinist. So while he drilled away on patients' teeth in the front room, he kept an ear cocked to be sure that young Jeno (Hungarian for Eugene...
...have already set on the British Empire; the spotlights may stay on forever. Last week under a galaxy of glare in Manhattan's Madison Square Garden, there was a fanfare of trumpets, a thunder of drums, a skirl of bagpipes. And out trooped two bands of white-helmeted Royal Marines followed by the kilted pipers and bearskin-topped drummers of the Scots Guards and the Royal Scots Greys.

Searchlights raked the skies. Limousines nosed up to the blue-and-white canopy of Indianapolis' Clowes (pronounced Clues) Memorial Hall, unloading passengers into the glare of flood lights and popping flashbulbs. Remarked one ticket holder: "In all honesty, I'd probably not walk across the street to hear an opera, but this - this is some thing special." Special it was, not only for Indianapolis but for the U.S.: the world premiere of the Metropolitan Opera National Company. It came as the parent Met was ringing up the curtain on its New York season - the last before it moves...
These great Roman roads of today combine half a dozen principles to achieve a qualitative advance over any earlier road system, or any foreign system. The freeway's wide median strip virtually abolishes head-on collisions and headlight glare. Passing is made so easy that one four-lane freeway can carry about ten times as many cars as two two-way roads. Freeway cloverleafs eliminate the need for intersection stopping; limited access banishes blind entrances and overly frequent inflows of traffic. Gentle grades, ample widths and curves of an easy mathematical beauty let drivers see at least twice...
