...land Mitzie her prize present, Sam ("Mr. S.I.") Newhouse operated in the same forthright fashion that he has used for four decades to collect an unusual group of 14 newspapers and five TV and radio stations. Just a fortnight ago, Newhouse heard that Condé Nast President and Publisher Iva Sergei ("Pat") Voidato-Patcévitch, 58, was willing to sell his option to buy controlling interest in the company, which he got last fall from Britain's Amalgamated Press.

This raised a fine legal point: Is Rose now an undesirable resident alien, perhaps...
...Glee Clubs, led by Smith conductor Iva Dee Hiatt, hardly gave the music a chance, singing for the most part at a steady forte that ignored whatever nuances the music possessed. Again the exception was the interpolated movement, Laudate Dominum, which was sung with some feeling. The interpolation also featured a golden-haired, golden-voiced soprano named Sue Glenn. Although her low notes were a little breathy, her attacks were clean, her high notes under control, and she was the only soloist of the evening who did not force her tone.
