...right, because once the artists are up there in front of the public, corruption disappears." BEING 75: "One of the nice things is that you don't have to go out so much.

...some forty players. Nils Vigeland's talent, taste and personality make him the most exciting musical force at Harvard. Given any kind of support by his orchestra he will provide an extraordinary season of unusual works. Only one familiar piece is in the first program of Bach, Haydn, Beethoven, Schumann, and Wolf.

His country will be allowed to export 80% of its present butter sales of 170,000 tons annually to the Common Market for five years, after which the concession will come up for review. Britain can then lobby for an extension. But New Zealand's cheese sales will be phased out during...
