Egger bankrolled, Eicher produced, and in 1970 the first record on ECM was pressed: Free at Last by the superb pianist Mai Waldron. Only 500 copies of the record were originally turned out, but 14,300 eventually sold. Now an initial ECM pressing averages 10,000 albums for its established acts and 6,000 for the three or four unknowns it introduces every year...
...been associated with the Royal Ballet almost since its beginning in 1931 and has created dozens of works for it, including Symphonic Variations, Daphnis and Chloe, La Fille Mai Gardée and A Month in the Country. In this century there has been only one comparable partnership, George Balanchine's with the New York City Ballet. Since Ashton's rather premature retirement as director in 1970, the Royal has lacked direction and has had difficulty developing young stars. It would be good if he worked with the company more often. After last week's premiere, Ashton...
Like most Vietnamese deserters, the soldiers were draftees from South Viet Nam. After receiving rudimentary basic :raining, Privates Tran, 25, Mai, 21, and Van, 24, had been shipped to northwest Cambodia to reinforce the occupying troops.

...magic is as potent as ever, except that today he casts his net at the malihinis, the strangers from all over who swarm to his Valley Island by the thousands, bearing millions. They do not come to Maui for the Don Ho-hula-grass skirt-sarong-muumuu-mai tai-lei-and-luau scenario that, in mainlanders' eyes at least, has become to Hawaii what Mickey Mouse is to Disney World or the one-armed bandit to Las Vegas. They come for some of the world's most spectacular scenery and a variety of activities unmatched by any comparable...
Please tell the fellow-travelers who wrote "Vietnam: What Have We Learned?" (Crimson, April 12) that if the Bach Mai Hospital were destroyed by American bombers, then it must have had only one patient! According to the Vietnam News Agency (Hanoi), only one patient of the hospital suffered any injuries at all. If the hospital was hit, many more than one patient would have been hurt. It seems unlikely that the hospital was the intended target of the air attack since a major oil storage depot, which is a legitimate war-time target, was located nearby. The exaggerations about American...
