...nose itself-a prominent organ-stands out from the face with an inquiring, anxious air, as though it were sniffing for some good thing in the wind; the eyes, dark, full and deeply set, are penetrating, but full of an expression which almost amounts to tenderness . . . One would say that, although the mouth was made to enjoy a joke, it could also utter the severest sentence which the head could dictate, but that Mr. Lincoln would be ever more willing to temper justice with mercy . . ." That is the way Foreign Correspondent William Howard Russell sketched President Lincoln...
Projects of a Mistress. Today's visitor to Versailles can "still see what she saw from her little balcony . . . the fountains of mermaids and cupids, the avenue of trees . . . We still hear the great clock on the parish church, the organ in the palace chapel . . . But we do not hear the King's hunt in the forest, the hounds and the horns . . .

In Cairo, his younger brother Hussein Aboul Fath has been running Al Misri and the family's chain of other newspapers and magazines, while Owner Mahmoud lived...
...young French composer who was killed in World War II, finishing up with the Rondo from the Symphony in G by Leo Sowerby. Something for everyone, in fact." But not everyone in his audience approved. Playing with precise tranquillity, Biggs went through the program without ever playing full organ. The British, despite their reputation for restraint, like their organ music romantic and thunderous; Biggsie's classical auster-ty caused some shifting and dozing. And the Sowerby piece, full of modern dissonances, caused some grumbling. But the critics were respectful...
