...creative federalism, sounds big in the aggregate: $2.5 billion in the first installment of Government funds recently sent to communities round the country. But what does that mean, town by town, in terms of the bottom line? Not a whale of a lot, if you are Robert W. Harshaw, mayor of McConnells, S.C. (pop. 200). Harshaw, 69, a dairy farmer, does not remember specifically applying for a federal grant. Still, he received a check for $346. Uncertain as to what to do with such dubious largesse, Harshaw consulted Councilman Sam Crawford, who advised: "Just send the darn thing back." Which...

...Broadway (including, at various times, New Faces of '56 and Do Re Mi) before finally joining the Metropolitan Opera in 1965 as a principal artist. Now 39, he finds his voice deepening and growing bigger. Two years ago he began to work with former Met Soprano Margaret Harshaw, focusing and darkening his voice...
...Indiana University Opera Theater's presentation of Parsifal could hardly have been better-even if they did seem a little bit old and fat for college students. There in the role of Parsifal was Charles Kullman, a veteran tenor from the Met; as Kundry, there was Margaret Harshaw, who has been a leading Wagnerian soprano since the '40s. Both are now "artist-performer-teachers" at Indiana, and Indiana is far and away the nation's most ambitious music school...
