Died. Archbishop Chrysostomos, 87, patriotic ex-Primate of the Greek Orthodox Church and among the last of a generation of Greek soldier-priests; of internal hemorrhaging; in Athens. Son of a Greek oil merchant from Aydin, Turkey, Chrysostomos early became embroiled in Greek nationalist causes, and on several occasions escaped Turkish firing squads when foreign powers intervened. He was elected primate in 1962, only to be ousted last May by the military junta he swore into office a month earlier...
...scale symphonic works of the masters-from Beethoven to Bartók performed by such artists as the ubiquitous Van Cliburn, Soprano Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, Tenor Richard Tucker, Cellist Leonard Rose, Clarinetist Benny Goodman, and Anshel Brusilow's Chamber Symphony of Philadelphia.

This quietude is conscious; the Fogg has resisted the kind of publicity New York's Metropolitan Museum gained from its disclosure of the forged Greek horse, and it is unlikely to sponsor Alan Kaprow's next happening. Certainly the scholarship and aesthetic judgment Coolidge values so highly can thrive in this quietude. But whether the impact of this intellectual activity may be obscured, whether the intelligent decisions may lose the impact they have traditionally...
