...trustee for Lance's investments, Thomas Mitchell, contributed to the Senators' balmy mood by announcing before the hearing that "definitive negotiations" had begun for the sale of the budget director's 200,000 shares of Georgia bank stock, most of which Lance had bought in 1975 with $2.7 million borrowed from Manhattan's Manufacturers Hanover Trust.

But last week as the 13-member troupe opened its fourth summer season at Lake Placid, N.Y., its mood seemed more buoyant and carefree than ever before. On the stage of the Adirondack resort's Center for Music, Drama and Art, there were the usual sprints, baseball slides and staggers.
