...Guinea (300-500), Equatorial Guinea (300-500), Guinea-Bissau (300), Mozambique (500-600), Tanzania (500), Somalia (650) and, for the past month or so, Uganda (about 100). In Mozambique the Cubans help with sugar growing and perhaps with the training of Rhodesian guerrillas.

The quick changes of mood in the "Promenades," with the horn, winds and violins heralding a new picture, were well enough evoked. But in certain spots, such as the high-pitched "Il Vecchio Castello," the Orchestra seemed tame...
...After four years as Assistant Interior Secretary, Jack Horton is back on his 10,000-acre ranch in the foothills of Wyoming's Big Horn Mountains. He rises as early as 4 a.m. to tend his 400 Herefords, but also hopes to use his Washington experience as an environmental consultant.
