...added $2,000,000 to the Republican Party's campaign chest in the past six months-a record for individual fund raising for the G.O.P. Last week California's Governor was off on his third cross-country speaking tour since September. From the Tulsa fairgrounds to Pittsburgh's Syria Mosque, crowds in four states gathered for a boffo blend of patter and polemic that made party cash registers ring-a-ding. However, the Reagan charisma has had less impact on the populace at large. According to the latest polls, his national popularity has dipped dramatically...
Brubeck has been working on Light for the past two years in hotel rooms and airplanes during tours with the quartet. But it has only been since the quartet's last concert in Pittsburgh on Dec. 26 that he has had time to put in a full day's work on the score.

Nixon returns from his holiday this week to receive a Boy Scout award in New York and appear at a Richmond Chamber of Commerce meeting and on the Washington and Lee University campus. He is expected to make...

Pearlstein, 43, is a shy, bespectacled native of Pittsburgh who studied at Carnegie Tech, painted signs for the infantry in World War II and moved to New York in 1949. Not until a decade later, while sketching the ruins of Rome on a Fulbright in 1958-59, did he rediscover the joys of literally recording reality.
