...course, things haven't worked out that way. Humphrey, in his exuberance, sabotaged hit-man Scoop Jackson in Pennsylvania, which, as it turns out, was the last place rival Democrats could have stopped Carter. And the scenario that could have allowed for a Rockefeller candidacy--a series of Ford defeats by Reagan in the early primaries, knocking the incumbent out, thereby legitimizing Rockefeller's entry--never materialized...
...major reorganization announced last week, Hurok Concerts worked out a deal with a smaller, rival manager, Harold Shaw, 53, and gave him most of its artistic leadership. Shaw will continue to run his own company, Shaw Concerts, which handles such artists as Guitarist Julian Bream, Contralto Maureen Forrester and Pianist Vladimir Horowitz.

"I'd rather be good at everything," says Naber, "than be excellent in one thing." Asked to size up his East German rival, Naber is characteristically generous and accurate: "Matthes is experience, maturity and talent, sure, but above all he is class. He is never bitter, never overly jubilant. I wish I could say that for myself...
