...Symphony's William Steinberg is planning an unprecedented series of seven Mahler concerts for the orchestra next season, three of them in New York. In Paris, no fewer than ten concerts since January have featured Mahler compositions. And in Austria last week, the Vienna Festival wound up a monthlong, twelve-concert survey of nearly all of the composer's major works. Appropriately, leading Mahlerite Leonard Bernstein climaxed the festival by conducting the Vienna Philharmonic and a 100-voice Vienna Opera choir in an incisive, wrenchingly emotional performance of the Second Symphony ("The Resurrection"), which ends with the choral...
Wearing rosaries and carrying a sequined banner that pictured the Virgin of Guadalupe, along with crudely lettered union slogans, 100 Mexican-American grape pickers last week finished a monthlong, 300-mile march of penance and protest through California's Central Valley from Delano to Sacramento. Marching with them were Roman Catholic priests and nuns and Protestant ministers, and the mood of the demonstrators was triumphant. For shortly before the protesters reached the state capital, they had won recognition of their embryonic union, the National Farm Workers Association, from Schenley Industries Inc., which owns about 2,400 acres of vineyards...
...SEVERING GAZZELONI, 47, the grand master of the difficult contemporary repertory, this week begins a monthlong concert tour that will take him from Copenhagen to Tripoli to Minneapolis.

Despite Afro-Asian efforts to cut off its trade, gold-and-diamond-rich South Africa is bursting with prosperity, and jobs abound. Recently a Johannesburg auto firm conducted a monthlong, nationwide advertising campaign for mechanics, did not get a single reply...
...matter what he happened to hit during the monthlong derby, Oscar Flanders, 64, would still be regarded by the experts with the same reverential awe they reserve for the striper himself. A stumpy 230 lbs., he won last year with a 51-pounder that he promptly sold to "some city feller standing around. Gave me ten dollars." In a monumental battle Oscar once landed a 63-pounder-the island record for surf casting. "I've thrown back more fish than most men have caught," he says matter-of-factly. "Anything less than 30 lbs. doesn't interest...
