...Serenade to Music," the Bach Society was joined by the Harvard University Choir. Written to a Shakespeare text in 1938, the serenade fortunately has become a gem of the choral repertoire, a consummately felicitous welding of poetry and music. The Bach Society's performance was truly gorgeous--all moonlight and velvet shadow. The chorus blended into a cool wave of sound, plumbing the music's dreamy depths without sacrificing a sparkling diction. The soloists, particularly soprano Ellen Burkhardt, were uniformly fine. The orchestra matched them in ethereal luster as a glossy violin solo, the ripple of a harp...
...available. No longer. Now longshoremen "badge in" at 7:30 a.m. at local hiring halls by inserting a plastic card into an IBM computer and lounge around for a while.

Among them: that the Palestine Liberation Organization be allowed to participate in a Geneva Peace Conference only after it recognizes Israel s right to exist; that the boundaries of Isarel be a matter for negotiation; that "real...
...administrative offices around the country, finds that while the workers love it, business callers sometimes get frustrated trying to reach someone on the phone on a Friday afternoon. Other four-day companies have found that workers tend to use their longer weekends to moonlight on second jobs, and thus show up exhausted when they return on Mondays. Many companies simply cannot afford the long weekend because federal law requires any firm with more than $10,000 in Government business to pay overtime to employees who work more than eight hours...
