Lately, tempers have been soothed as residents have become used to the park idea. "The plan is more restrictive than it needs to be," says Lake Placid Realtor John Wilkins. "But basically it is a good plan." Because of it, the largest remaining area of scenic wilderness east of the Mississippi has now been sensibly preserved and protected...
...standing ovations from the public and hosannas from the stuffiest critics. The money for that European tour was raised largely by Symphony Board Chairman Louis Sudler, as part of a campaign to publicize the board's selection of Solti.

One friend, ignoring Harris' haggard appearance, insisted that he looked...
Slighted. The McGovernites have been curiously inattentive to some of their wealthiest potential backers. In California, Millionaire Max Palevsky, who has contributed $350,000 for the McGovern campaign so far, felt slighted that he was not named finance chairman. Some, like San Francisco Realtor Walter Shorenstein and Los Angeles Realtor Harold Willens, are cautiously waiting to see how McGovern's campaign shapes up before they commit their funds. Says Shorenstein: "Our system requires a growth economy. You have to have free enterprise and competition and a good business atmosphere. If we are going to inhibit opportunity with heavy taxes...
