...Great Britain continues to ignore us," said President Peter Adams, "we will seek alliances with other nations in the hemisphere." This troubled warning came last week from the leader of Anguilla, a 35-sq.-mi. West Indies isle, which is having some trouble making a suitable political connection. Anguilla has other difficulties: it attracts no tourists, has no natural resources or industry, lacks water and supports its population chiefly from fishing, smuggling and money sent home by Anguillans working elsewhere...
PROKOFIEV: CONCERTO NO. 2 IN G MI NOR; SIBELIUS: CONCERTO IN D MINOR (RCA Victor). Itzhak Perlman, the 21-year-old Israeli violinist, has already made an impressive name for himself in the concert circuit. This is his recording debut, and it confirms his growing prestige. He manages to make Prokofiev's percussive, rather frantic concerto sing, and his considerate understanding of Sibelius' darkly sad Romanticism is powerful. Conductor Erich Leinsdorf's Boston Symphony gives Perlman rich support...

Anguilla is hardly the proper setting for revolution. A 34-sq.-mi. coral dot in the Leeward Islands east of Puerto Rico, the island has rested languidly for 300 years under British rule. Without electricity or telephones, the 5,000 Anguillans earn a meager living from fishing, working a salt pond and occasional smuggling. In February, Britain tried to loosen its ties with this poor dependency by linking Anguilla with two larger and more prosperous islands to form the St. Kitts-Nevis-Anguilla federation, retaining control only of foreign affairs and defense...
