True, Soviet agriculture is plagued by climatic problems beyond the control of any government. Though the lush fields of the Ukraine produce grain in abundance, much of the country's arable land lies in far northern latitudes, where enormous swings in seasonal temperatures and erratic rainfall can lead to variations of as much as 40% in annual harvest yields. The geographical and climatic problems are compounded by the system's self-inflicted wounds of rule by decree...
Mason runs his business from an elegant boathouse office on the St. Johns River in Jacksonville, Fla., where the self-described "frustrated hermit" can survey both his flourishing accounts and his lush 75-acre estate. Starting out with a motley collection of Florida mortgage, banking and land-developing firms, Mason in 1968 bought 60 small gas stations that eventually led to his acquiring $70 million worth of key Signal Oil & Gas properties two years later. From 1969 to 1974 Charter assets jumped 1184%, as the voracious Mason gobbled up other properties, including Ladies' Home Journal and Redbook magazines...
...gathering information at the Democratic National Convention at Miami Beach, Hunt and I had an option to lease a large houseboat moored within line of sight of the Fontaineblau. This would enable it to be used as a communications center for CRYSTAL-electronic surveillance.

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...
