...IVES: FOURTH SYMPHONY (Columbia). Charles Ives once said, "I found out I could not go on using the familiar chords early. I heard something else." Indeed he did, and as a virtual recluse who had never heard a note of Schoenberg, he set down his inner music, delving into dissonance and polytonality in 1916. The work was not played until 50 years after it was written, and this first recording by Leopold Stokowski and the American Symphony Orchestra celebrates the long-delayed recognition of a major composer...
...over New Orleans, nearly half of which is below sea level. Canal dikes burst, sending cascades 8 ft. to 14 ft. deep through the streets. Army and National Guard amphibious craft cruised about picking up trapped householders from roofs and attics. One man paddled to safety girdled by an inner tube. Telephone service and power distribution blacked out. Scores of boats, from big freighters to cabin cruisers, ran aground or broke up. As the floods receded, they left a soggy jumble of ruined cars, fallen trees and utility lines, splintered glass and timber. Sobbed one homeless house wife: "Everything...
From under the churning Pacific last week came the sound of a human voice: "Greetings, earth people." Far from a Jules Verne fantasy, it was the breezy salutation of one of the men of Sealab II, the U.S.'s capsule in inner space 205 ft. down on the ocean floor, one-half mile off the coast near La Jolla, Calif.

This autobiography is Brown's testament, not to his redemption but to his misspent youth. Nowhere does he explain what inner strength rescued him from himself; the reader must consult the dust jacket to learn that Brown went on to graduate from Howard University, and will enter law school this fall. Instead. Brown sifts steadfastly and self-consciously through the dung heap of his past. A little discipline of the sort...
Through the 90-mile-wide Straits of Florida separating the U.S. from Cuba runs some of the most bizarre traffic ever seen on any body of water in the world. Desperate Cubans flee north in sailboats, rafts-even inner tubes. At night, weird vessels churn among the mangrove and coral cays on secret missions for no one is quite sure whom. One morning last week, a U.S. Coast Guard patrol boat 65 miles off Cuba drew alongside one of the strangest yet: an aged, 165-ft., grey-hulled converted yacht named the Seven Seas, adrift and seemingly unmanned-until...
