...group of madrigals and chansons, performed with a semichorus, went very well save for a couple of imprecise entrances. Outstanding was Monteverdi's Dorinda, with its tortured Mannerist harmonies. "The Promise of Living," from Copland's opera The Tender Land (1953), went far better than on the Chorus' telecast, owing to the use of more singers and rehearsals. The opera was not considered a success; but the criticism was aimed at the libretto and dramatic structure. The music was always warm and limpid...
...Older Worker: The U.S. Must Make Better Use of Him" see TIME, Oct. 19, 1953.-ED. Sir: Gerontologist Cowdry's warning, "Don't fall for that old vegetarian routine; it'll kill you!" may be sound, but comes too late to save me. I am 76, blood pressure 120/80, never felt better and I have only eaten meat twice since...
...Kansas City's Federal Reserve Bank Building. He keeps three secretaries working full time, spends about $5,000 a month keeping up with the duties of an ex-President. All his expenses come out of his own pocket, but Truman was one of the few U.S. Presidents to save money in office, has since picked up some handsome fees, e.g., from LIFE and Doubleday for his bestselling memoirs, from King Features for his European series.

...Pennsylvania vigorously denied the charge, but last week, amidst the swelling uproar, the Interstate Commerce Commission announced a full-scale investigation of the whole passenger problem. Save for the World War II years, the railroads say that they have been losing money steadily on passengers during the past quarter century. By official ICC computation the passenger loss for Class I railroads (those grossing more than $3,000,000 annually) reached a staggering $642 million in 1952, rose to $705 million in 1953, dropped slightly to $670 million in 1954 and $636 million in 1955. The ICC arrived at these figures...
...British firms understand development work." British aircraft companies seldom produce enough prototypes of a new plane, thus face delays if a prototype is cracked up. Instead of trying to correct the deficiencies that show up in the prototypes, British aircraft "boffins," i.e., chairborne scientists, try to cover up to save costly redesigning. Despite the industry's often brilliant performance at Britain's annual Farnborough air show, Waterton points out that the show is "a lot of sham." The aircraft entered are often prototypes, years from the production line and often perilously undertested. Says he: "It is a miracle...
