Adhesive Melody. But Symonette's resonant, deep-chested baritone is heard to best advantage in River Chanty, a heave-ho work song with chorus that evokes the lure and lore of ol' man river. The score's low-water mark is struck in a rankly commercial number entitled Apple Jack, a shallow echo of some of Weill's earlier work. "Weill's best melodies are like glue," exclaims Rosenstock. "If you listen to them, they stick." The most adhesive refrain in Huckleberry is called This Time Next Year and expresses Jim's dream...
...major stop on the President's tour was the vast $34.2 million Limpopo settlement scheme in southern Mozambique, into which Portugal hopes to lure 1,000 immigrant families from the homeland, as well as 500 more from Mozambique itself. Each new farmer will receive up to 25 acres of irrigated land, a new house, furniture and tools, as well as two bullocks, a milk cow, two pigs, five chickens and a rooster.

They were tempted even more by the higher bids generated by the business acumen and showmanship of Sotheby Chairman Peter Cecil Wilson, 51, known in the auction world as "The Fastest Gavel in the West...

Sure enough, Papandreou's Cen ter Union, having garnered 173 seats in Greece's 300-member Parliament, rammed through a bill to free most Communist prisoners convicted of sedition and murder, abolish political deportations, and deprive the police of power to withhold work permits on political grounds...
