...most lasting memento at Flushing Meadow is not to be seen. At the Westinghouse Pavilion, buried in a 50-ft. steel shaft and sealed so as to last 5,000 years, is a Time Capsule crammed full of documents and artifacts. Among them: a tranquilizer, a birth-control pill, a pack of filter cigarettes, a blue and white bikini, and photographs of Joe DiMaggio, Errol Flynn and Adolf Hitler-but not one of Robert Moses...
...Bird, the French champion and 6-to-5 favorite, was also 1) the winner of the English Derby and 2) a grandson of the U.S.'s Native Dancer. Russia's Anilin had British ancestors. Ireland's Meadow Court, the 1965 Sweeps winner, boasted a British sire, an American dam, and a trio of owners composed of two Canadians and Bing Crosby. Then there was the U.S.'s Tom Rolfe, bred in Kentucky, with a name that goes all the way back to Pocahontas. His daddy and granddaddy were Italian, and his owner is an American...
Every weekday morning for the past three years, New York Philharmonic Managing Director Carlos Moseley, en route to his office, has walked across a vast open tract of Central Park known as the Sheep Meadow. Decided Moseley: "This is the place for an enormous Philharmonic party." A fine idea, orchestra officials agreed, music for the masses and all that. But will the people come?

...musicians have a special paradise, it will be like this," remarked Japanese Cellist Ko Iwasaki as he gazed around a sunlit meadow. Pianist Rudolf Serkin was in animated conversation with Conductor Eugene Ormandy. Hungary's greatest living composer, Zoltán Kodály, 82, and his blonde wife Sarolta, 26, were talking over old times with Cellist Pablo Casals, 89, and his dark-haired wife Marta, 24. Under an oak tree Violinists Shmuel Ashkenasi (from Israel) and Charles Avsharian (from the U.S.) were playing a bridge game with Tenor Jon Humphrey (Robert Shaw Chorale soloist) and Horn Player...
...place is Flushing Meadow, Long Island. There, in the Spanish Pavilion at the New York World's Fair, Manuela Vargas and her first-rate 16-member flamenco troupe hold forth four times a day. The raw, unbridled passion of their performance tops the fair's entertainment bill. Haughty as a peacock, La Vargas commands with a scowl that would intimidate a bandit. What she doesn't convey with her Goyaesque good looks, arching back and rippling feet, she says with her long serpentine arms and spidery hands...
