...revived interest in baroque music has resulted in two new albums that aim at authenticity, each using a chorus of 40 or fewer and an orchestra of similar size. The soloists in both albums strive -with mixed success -to ornament their melodies in 18th century style. Robert Shaw (RCA Victor), conducting his own chorale and orchestra, shows how dramatic the scaled-down work can be; his version, with its furiously paced hallelujahs, is hard-hitting theater.

Most of the money invested in the region's Ford, Coca-Cola and RCA facilities is Arab capital, paid to buy franchises or set up dealerships. On top of that, 33,000 Arab employees of Coca-Cola and 6,000 workers in Ford enterprises, (350 of them at Alexandria) face the loss of their jobs...
