...redoubtable Faubus, laid it on thick to a state P.T.A. meeting in Richmond: "I say to you in profound and pleading reverence that I fight to preserve the public school system." He got a whoop-and-holler ovation, but two days later, with the floor packed by late-arriving delegates from the state's more moderate north, a resolution to support massive resistance drew a 557-557 tie, and this was chalked up as a defeat. Then a "local option" plan for integration won a squeaky 515-513 victory. The next day, for the seventh time in three troubled...
...most adventurous big-money backer modern art has ever known was the late Solomon R. Guggenheim, multi millionaire mining magnate (Alaskan copper, Chilean nitrate, Bolivian tin) who late in life switched from collecting traditional Dutch masters to avant-garde art under the tutelage of his good friend and mentor, Baroness Hilla Rebay von Ehrenwiesen, set up Manhattan's Museum of Non-Objective Painting.

I like to tell the story of the Southerner who came up to me and said: 'Loved your playing. I had a Negro mammy myself.' I snarled back, 'So did I.' " She had trouble with café owners, lost much of her following, finally decided she had better change her act. Says Dorothy: "Instead of just sitting there and playing, I've added personality. I feel I'm a new Dorothy Donegan...
...choosing a program which is, in many ways, beyond the Orchestra's capabilities. The risk paid off in Brahms's Haydn Variations, which received a superb performance. Slightly less successful was Berlioz' Harold in Italy, which was the victim of mishaps ranging from such acts of God as late entrances and extra-musical noises on stage, to the more controllable blunders of intonation...
