...women in several dozen occupations, from automobile repairs and underwater welding to cosmetology and nursing, came to $9,945 a year-more than the cost of sending a student to college. On the other hand, notes Shriver, it costs taxpayers some $100,000 to keep a man on relief for a lifetime. Since 1,500 Job Corps graduates have found jobs, and cooperating firms have a "stockpile" of 10,000 jobs awaiting future grads, he figures that the investment is worthwhile...
...artist's model is surviving the art. At 53 years of age, the U.S. Indianhead nickel is now vanishing like a lost tribe. But at 103, Seneca Chief John Big Tree, one of the three men who posed for the 5? bas-relief by Sculptor James Earle Fraser, has suffered little depreciation. Chief Big Tree has so much mettle, in fact, that he traveled down from his home near Syracuse, N.Y., to help the Chase Manhattan Bank observe the 100th anniversary of the first U.S. nickel.

...Bold Relief. Last week the de Pasquale String Quartet made its Manhattan debut in Town Hall and all was sweet accord. Billed as the FIRST ALL-BROTHER QUARTET IN MUSICAL HISTORY, they were a trifle jittery in the opening Hayden Quartet in D Minor, Op. 76, but soon found their stride. Turning to the contemporary, their readings of Quincy Porter's Quartet No. 3 and Vin cent Persichetti's Quartet No. 2 crackled with clean precision. In Dvorák's Quar tet in F Major, Op. 96, their tempos, if sometimes inflexible, were brisk and lively...
