...confident of leaving behind an institution that can flourish without him. Last season, the orchestra's tenth, it performed before a total of 100,000 people. Besides occasional national tours and State Department-sponsored appearances abroad, it visits campuses and towns throughout the region as a sort of floating miniconservatory, offering clinics, master classes and discussion groups in addition to its concerts. In its main subscription series at St. Paul's 1,700-seat O'Shaughnessy Auditorium, the orchestra has become all but a sellout, precisely by avoiding safe subscription fare. "A concert hall doesn...
...question is whether there is much domestic oil left to be discovered. Oilmen say there is, but the odds are against them. With fully 507,034 operating oil wells dotting the landscape, the U.S. is the most explored region on earth. Last year companies and wildcatters drilled 48,573 new wells around the country, but discoveries were disappointing...

Each pipe housed a pinkish worm with an elegant, red, feathery plume. Alvin's robot-like arms grappled up samples, and still more on a return visit earlier this year. Amazingly, some were giant worms, ranging up to 8½ ft. in length...
