...most amateurishly organized drive that any serious candidate has mounted in modern American history. In many cities, it is impossible to find his campaign headquarters. In others, like Louisville, there are as many as three, each competing for funds and attention. Not one member of his staff has had previous experience in national politics. By contrast, Eugene McCarthy's "children's crusade" was a model of efficiency and professionalism...
This is what Berio, 42, has been driving at in all his work. To him, what counts is man's civilized conscience. His best previous theatrical works-Laborintus, Circles, Passaggio-were promising examples of music as a "social act." At first, he explored opera, since it seemed to him that it offered the best form for social comment. Now he has no use for it. "As a musico-dramatic form, opera is completely useless," he says. In Sinfonia, Berio suggests a new kind of dramaturgy encompassing music, drama, word sounds and, eventually, lighting and stage effects. Other composers have...
...cover. It suits the spirit of the music inside.

...York Stock Exchange was not the only exchange to exceed itself last week. In Japan, on the football-field-sized trading floor of the Tokyo Stock Exchange, prices rose until they surpassed their previous peak, set on July 18, 1961. Japan's Dow Jones average -calculated in roughly the same way as the American Dow-Jones but otherwise unrelated - closed for the day at 1,839 yen ($5.09), ten points above the seven-year-old record...
Pretty Flimsy. Conditions were quite different when the Tokyo exchange set its previous record back in 1961. That high, it turned out, was based on pretty flimsy ground and was soon followed by a rapid collapse. Wild speculation by unregulated brokerage houses, which often used customers' portfolios as collateral, was chiefly responsible for driving up prices. When the bubble burst, thousands of investors lost their life savings. Of some 1,500 Japanese securities firms, fewer than 400 survived...
