Original Subscribers. Tidende stands in deeper debt to the Danish national character than to Berling family pride. It has never been a great paper, although consistently a good one. Created by royal dispensation, it remained stubbornly loyal to the throne, even after 1904, when the government began printing a newspaper of its own. But time has long since stranded Tidende's taproot conservatism; successive mass movements to the political left have forced the paper into the role of minority voice. Today a Radical-Liberal coalition is in power, and instead of swearing daily allegiance to the throne, Tidende finds...

Power Biggs can be heard playing Twelve Noels by the eighteenth-century French composer, Louis Claude Daquin, on the reedy, mock-sixteenth-century Flentrop Organ in the Busch-Reisinger Museum of Germanic Culture (Columbia ML 5567). And the Harvard Glee Club has recorded on a loyal label a handsome election of the more worth while --Volume I (Cambridge Records CRS-401), for instance, includes Vaughan Williams arrangements of the Gloucestershire and Yorkshire Wassails, "Lo, How a Rose."

Since then, thousands and thousands of creches have been made, some commissioned by great lords, some modeled after master paintings, some encrusted with jewels, and some even designed to be wound up and set moving. But the most appealing creches...
Other areas of the country where farmers are a greater percentage of the population are still loyal to standard time. But Speno becomes almost rhapsodic when he thinks about daylight saving time: "Light seems to lengthen our days and our lives because time is really an experience of the mind. The light will end for each of us, and maybe for all of us suddenly. It is certainly within our power now to rescue an hour of light every day for six more months of the year...
