LUCERNE INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL (Aug. 14-Sept. 8) is long on notable artists (Artur Rubinstein, Herbert von Karajan, William Steinberg, Isaac Stern) and short on program ideas. Still, the air is crisp and the execution usually exemplary at the picturesque lakeside resort...
...appropriately uptight put-on. As a few hundred hippies gathered in the Boulder, Colo., area-a flower-power resort at this time of the year -the story went out that they had recognized Boulder and Tibet as the only havens from destruction when, as they expected, the asteroid Icarus smashed into the earth. The ultimate happening was supposed to have taken place at 4:48 p.m., E.D.T., June 14. Instead, at the perigee of its 19-year cycle, Icarus missed by roughly 4,000,000 miles, and the hippies stayed around to enjoy the Sugarloaf Mountain...
Born the sons of Leroy Dunfey, a Lowell, Mass, storekeeper and small-time Irish politician who died in 1952, the five innkeeping Dunfeys (three other brothers set off on their own, and four sisters all became nuns) first set up business in the resort town of Hampton Beach.

Since then, their projects, all overseen by Ma Dunfey, have ranged from acquisition of the 800-room Eastland...
Unfortunately, the public's answers can be as misleading as the questions. Ashamed to admit racial or religious prejudice, people who answer polls sometimes resort to artful lying. Though 80% tell interviewers that they will vote, only 65% do so. To prevent bias, interviewers ask trip-up questions ("When did you vote last?" "Where are you registered?"), and toss out roughly one-fifth of the respondents on the ground that they are unlikely to vote...
...first glance, Bermuda and the Bahamas might seem picture-postcard duplicates. Both Caribbean resort islands have a heavy Negro majority and a predominantly Negro party with the same initials (P.L.P.). Each also has a largely white-and business-dominated party with the same initials (U.B.P.). But there, all coincidence ends. In the Bahamas, the predominantly white United Bahamian Party was decisively voted from power in elections held last year. In Bermuda, voters went to the polls last week and just as decisively re-elected their predominantly white United Bermuda Party, giving it a commanding majority of 30 seats...
