...difference is psychological," says Shapey, a professor of music at the University of Chicago. "You just aren't worried about money, you don't think about money any more." Shapey continues to compose in his unprepossessing apartment in Chicago's Hyde Park, still does not own a car, and busies himself, as he did before receiving the award, with creating difficult music in a modern idiom that some critics have hailed as "expressive" and "romantic" despite its atonal complexity. Commercial publishers have issued only a handful of his compositions...
...Tenth. London's two major repertory companies are concentrating their energies on the Bard and other English classic playwrights. The Royal Shakespeare Company has mounted a characteristically bustling production of Middleton and Dekker's The Roaring Girl, a feminist comedy from 1610, starring Helen Mirren and Jonathan Hyde. The National Theater, the slicker and more conventional of the rep houses, is presenting Sheridan's The Rivals, with sumptuous scenery by John Gunter, all of it devoured by a cast that includes Michael Hordern and Tim Curry. Also at the National: Eduardo de Filippo's Inner Voices...
...with the Soviets at the ongoing arms-limitation talks in Geneva. The White House insisted, however, that an acceptable arms-reduction agreement would have to be reached before an arms freeze could take place in order to prevent any Soviet advantage in bargaining.

These modern pyramids have been getting ever more grandiose. Franklin D. Roosevelt started the trend when he built his own library at Hyde Park, N.Y., while still in office. Although he was President for only onesixth as long as Roosevelt, and in a time of less historical importance, Ford has a library in Ann Arbor, Mich., and a museum in Grand Rapids that boast 50% more space than F.D.R...
...spectator. But, with 215 Ibs. packed solidly on a 5-ft. 10-in. frame, he wore out bodyguards 25 years his junior during the campaign, getting by on five hours' sleep a night. The schedule was typical of the Congressman, an amiable but intensely private man. His modest Hyde Park apartment in Chicago is strewn with newspapers and books. He rarely indulges in vacations and avoids the social scene in Washington...
