...enough moratorium, since it involves state as well as local lethargy. However, because of a system of priorities voted in the city council, almost no urban renewal can take place in the whole of Cambridge until the inner belt goes through. Thus, while people in the east of Cambridge neglect their homes (and have been doing so for more than two years because road graders and bulldosers tend to make extensive repairs appear slightly ludicrous), the other half of the city must also remain paralysed...
...Italian Composer Luigi Dallapiccola, 57, life has by his own testimony been "one long suffer." The suffer is apparent in the spare, abrasively powerful twelve-tone music that has flowed steadily from his pen through years of poverty, persecution and neglect. But Dallapiccola is neglected no longer: even his severest critics in Italy acknowledge his influence as the patriarch of the Italian twelve-tone school. Manhattan audiences last week had a first chance to hear one of the patriarch's finest works - the 13-minute Variations for Orchestra as performed by the visiting Boston Symphony under Guest Conductor Erich...
...want the committee (including spokesmen for 28 public-health agencies and similar groups) even to discuss the easily swallowed, live-virus vaccine, which can be administered in candy form.

...nation of traders that they must export or perish. It is a lesson Britons know well, and on cue they burst into selfcriticism. Critics cited examples of British firms that still often give Continental customers specifications of products in feet instead of meters. Others complained that some British companies neglect to provide service for their products after they sell them, as their German rivals do. Still others told of Dutch and German firms that snatched contracts away from Britons by promising months earlier delivery on heavy machinery orders. At one exporters' conference, Peter Tennant, overseas director of the Federation...
...Last week Newberg, who was forced out because of profits he had made from ownership in two of the company's suppliers, sued Chrysler. He charged that Chrysler Chairman Lester Lum Colbert and fellow board members had used him as a scapegoat to prevent discovery of "incompetence, maladministration, neglect, breaches of duty and self-dealing" on their part. He asked for cancellation of his agreement to pay Chrysler the $455,000 profit he had made from the suppliers. He has already paid $200,000; the court postponed the $65,000 installment due this month until his suit is heard...
