DIED. Annunzio Paolo Mantovani, 74, mood-music maestro whose lush, homogenized sound made him the first musician to sell a million stereo albums in the U.S.; after a prolonged illness; in Tunbridge Wells, England. The Venetian-born, British-educated son of a Covent Garden concertmaster began his own career at 16 as a classical violinist. Though he conducted London's Hotel Metropole Orchestra and his own Tipica Orchestra in concerts, BBC broadcasts and on records in the 1920s, '30s and '40s, and later became music director for Playwright Noel Coward, Mantovani was little known outside of Britain...
Tony Straiges's set does more than its share to point up Epstein's intent. If the battle-tapestry that represents the court overstates the theme of conflict, its one-dimensionality perfectly sets the city off from the wood; as the tapestry rises it reveals no lush, enchanted garden but a Greenwood of primal forces, spaciously expanding sideways and upwards towards the silvery moon--a stark, haunting vision of nature largely unconcerned with or uninterested...

The island has an unsavory past: before Castro's revolution it housed the Presidio, one of the most brutal prisons in the Western Hemisphere. Castro was incarcerated there for 20 months...

Here the visitor will meet with hospitality and good humor as unflagging as the cool, dry trade winds...
Saba (pronounced Say-buh) is a Dutch colony, half white, half black (pop. 1,020); its original white settlers were mostly dispossessed Scots. The island, a lush volcanic rock soaring 3,000 ft. from the sea, has no beaches or sports facilities, though some visitors find the hike up steep Mount Scenery worth the risk of a heart attack. The big excitement comes on Saturday night in the village of The Bottom, where the Soul Redemption provides rockalypso loud enough to raise the dead. There are several attractive inns, with a total capacity of 25 rooms. Sabans call their home...
