...class district averages $65 in Diisseldorf, $70 in Brussels and a skyscraping $180 in Paris, Europe's toughest town for housing. In Italy's cities, unskilled workers have a hard time finding one-room flats for $50, which represents one-half of their monthly income.

Fortunately, his attorney explained that he was "retired," and even...
Flaksman also played Faure's Elegie Op. 24, the structure of which is as follows: theme, theme, episode, theme, episode, theme (the last time with one note altered). It is a pity Faure does no more than repeat a nice tune a few times...
