...without breeding!" Even as he spoke the Cleveland Symphony rumbled like a drain in difficulty and belched forth a stentorian blat of brass. Whereupon the tiny man, exploding chords like cannoncrackers, hurled himself upon the piano, and for the next 72 minutes, while the orchestra bawled like a herd of lovesick hippos, blasted away with a display of percussive pianistics that rattled the hall so hard nobody noticed the sound of a subway train thundering within 40 feet of the stage...
...three years since he went to the Governor's mansion in Cheyenne as a far-right-winger, Hansen has driven through the legislature a herd of programs to which the state G.O.P. was fundamentally opposed. He asked for and got an urban-renewal plan, an increase in the state sales tax and a boost in the state minimum wage from 75? to $1.

Storrow boasts no publishing experience beyond his trial run in putting out the Nation's 100th anniversary issue last summer. Yet so uncharacteristically sleek was that 336-page effort that Storrow may be just the man to make dollars out of dissent. He feels confident that he can double circulation to 60,000 within 18 months and show a modest profit-the first...
