...Requiem the singers face a problem quite different from any they have met in a work of major proportions in recent years. It is probably harder to perform well than either the Beethoven Missa Solemnis or the Bach St. Matthew's Passion. Though the latter are physically more difficult, they are comparatively clear-cut in their problems of nuance and phrasing. They are not particularly intimate in their sentiments; that is, there is a certain broadness about them which lends itself to interpretation by groups almost as well as by individuals.

No man to run from an honest dollar, he has made a huge estate in New York's Thousand Islands not only a luxurious nook for himself, his wife and two subdeb daughters, but a profitable attraction for summer tourists, who pay 35? a head to view its splendors.

Last week Peru also resigned following the lead in recent years of Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Paraguay, El Salvador, Venezuela...
...Howard noted a recent Gallup poll which announced that half the people of the U. S. approve of gambling, in church or out. He saw that, out of more than 200 Episcopal and Roman Catholic bishops, not more than a dozen or so banned Bingo as a means of raising money. He heard that priests in Trenton, N.
