Stokowski had molded the orchestra into a peerless instrument that he controlled with finger-tip accuracy. Ormandy's achievement was not only to preserve Stokowski's legacy but, in some ways, to surpass it. He was no mere caretaker. If he lacked Stokowski's restless adventurousness in presenting modern music, he nevertheless championed new works by his contemporaries Rachmaninoff and Shostakovich. If his scrupulously maintained low profile was the antithesis of Stokowski's flamboyant showmanship, he nevertheless insisted on a uniformly high performance standard, which can be heard on the hundreds of recordings he made with the Fabulous Philadelphians.

...shorter sexy skirts; his loose, liquid, wool jumpsuits; his jackets with turned-down lapels; his heart-stopping evening wear... heaven on a hanger! Claude Montana's huge coats in electroshock colors; Yohji Yamamoto's sweaters in colors like a deep-sea bottom! Saint Laurent's peerless pants! It is easy enough, in the midst of all this, for any buyer to go nicely nuts. "This is it!

...ardent supporter of that concept is Douglas Fraser, former head of the United Auto Workers, who has long contended that U.S. workers are the best in the world.

Workers at Honda's plants in Marysville, Ohio, do work that is as good as or better than that at the company's plants in Japan, say Honda executives. Car buyers, especially those on the West Coast, have...
...every concert," Rubinstein once said, "I leave a lot to the moment. I want to risk, I want to dare. It's like making love. The act is always the same, but each time it's different." But some things were consistent. His Chopin-and he was peerless in Chopin-was strong-willed and large-boned, robust and masculine, yet sensitive and poetic. His Brahms was as hearty, bluff and ruminative as the composer himself. Rubinstein played Spanish music with the brio of a native (Spain was one of his favorite countries), and Impressionist music like a born...
...liberal-leaning majority, consisting of Jerry Brown's five choices and Stanley Mosk, named by Governor Pat Brown (with only Reagan Appointee Frank Richardson right of center). Thus the prospect is for more political quarrels that will do nothing to revive the prestige of what was once a peerless ornament of American jurisprudence. -By Bennett H. Beach.
