Skolnick lives in his parents' modest duplex home on Chicago's South Side, supported mainly by his father's union pension and social security benefits. He can move his wheelchair, but only with difficulty, and must be chauffeured to his press conferences and court appearances. Working with him are 30 or so volunteers whom Skolnick has organized into the Committee to Clean Up the Courts. Like him, most of them have grievances against the courts. Each week, they pore over stock records, title transfers and other documents for evidence of judicial mischief. The eyes and ears...
Proof of this can be found in the group's first LP, Blind Faith (Atco), which reached No. 3 on the Billboard chart this week and has topped $1,000,000 in sales in only a month. Win-wood's composition, Can't Find My Way Home, is a farm-fresh plaint, which he sings in a sad falsetto over Baker's insinuating brushwork and the harpsichord-like plucking of two acoustic guitars. Blind Faith's version of the old Buddy Holly tune, Well All Right, skips along with a blithe country feeling, and Clapton...

...life was a concert performance of one of his works. Now most composers see the concert hall and the LP as separate, but equally rewarding, mediums. Penderecki prefers to hear romantic music in the concert hall, but listens to Bach and Handel in the quiet and privacy of his home. As for his own music, he thinks the dramatically extroverted St. Luke Passion belongs in the auditorium because it should involve people as a group. When it comes to such works as Polymorphia and Dies Irae, Penderecki believes that they sound better on LP because they explore instrumental and vocal...
Annual interest rates on Eurodollars have fallen to 11 % from a peak of 13% , which was reached for a day or two in the second quarter. U.S. banks had been borrowing huge quantities of such dollars on deposit in Europe in order to meet their loan commitments at home. Lately the banks' appetite for such deals has been declining. Of more immediate interest to consumers, mortgage interest rates have declined ever so slightly. Mortgages auctioned off to private investors last week by the Federal National Mortgage Association brought an average yield of 7.8%, down from a peak...
