...eight-century leap away from the Pro Musi-ca's usual holiday fare. Every year- including this one-it climaxes its eleven-month season by presenting church performances of two 12th cen-tury music dramas, The Play of Daniel and The Play of Herod. Staged and costumed in period style, these productions unfold in vocal chants and instrumental passages of austere elegance and moving simplicity. White, 43, a musicologist and harpsichordist who took over the Pro Musica after Founder Noah Greenberg died in 1966, has no intention of abandoning such efforts. In fact he plans more: the group will...
Rash of Shots. That competence has been dramatically demonstrated in the past five years. Of the five Mariner shots launched during that period, Van Allen noted, three were notably successful. Mariners 2 and 5 flew past Venus, returning vast quantities of information about the planet's atmosphere, temperature and thermal and magnetic properties. Mariner 4 successfully transmitted pictures of the Martian surface and continued to operate for more than three years, sending information from distances as great as 200 million miles as it went on into orbit around the sun. Yet all this was accomplished, Van Allen points...

During the first nine months of 1967, pub sales enjoyed a 4% increase over the same period of the previous year. But October saw a 6% slump.

Crimson goalie Bob Higgins stood up well to R.P.I.s heavy first-period barrage, making 13 good saves to only 8 for the Engineers' Tom Nichols. But Nichols was the outstanding player on the ice thereafter, and with his team protecting a 5-1 lead in the third period he stopped 16 shots, to Higgins...
