...major reorganization announced last week, Hurok Concerts worked out a deal with a smaller, rival manager, Harold Shaw, 53, and gave him most of its artistic leadership. Shaw will continue to run his own company, Shaw Concerts, which handles such artists as Guitarist Julian Bream, Contralto Maureen Forrester and Pianist Vladimir Horowitz.

Huddled down, Black and John Hofstetter prance in circles, teasing one another. Black cuts unexpectedly to the outside of the circle, Hofstetter surprises herwith a flip over his shoulder. Black uses the same loose athletic style Gray called on in sections of "Passing Through" and Soll in bits of "Lunch Break...
