Commander Albert S. McLemore, Evans' skipper, was one of the last swimmers to be rescued. Aboard the Australian carrier, the American skipper made his way to the bridge for an emotional meeting with Stevenson. Later MCLemore recalled: "We met about halfway through the pilot house.

Because rocketing costs -most notably, sharply increased salary scales-have not been met by a similar gain in income, the orchestras' combined annual operating deficit rose from $2.9 million in 1964 to $5.7 million in 1968. The loss will soar to $8,000,000 by the 1971-72 season unless drastic steps are taken...
