...Vermonters can seldom be taken for granted. In last week's special election, Democrats not only failed to make the major gains they expected in the house; their strength even dropped a fraction to 23%. In the senate, Demo cratic membership fell from 43% to a mere 20%. Massachusetts-born Hoff, who was on a State Department tour of Europe and Asia for all but the last week of the campaign, called it a "horrendous defeat." Penny-wise Vermonters had plainly responded to G.O.P. National Committeewoman Consuelo Bailey's charge: "This Governor's been spending...
...unencouraging aspect of the came was the shuffile offense which Harvard employed. The Crimson seldom scored by patiently setting up a play. This team likes to shoot, and most of Harvard's points came when somebody stopped in a shot from outside.

But once the ear adapts to Deller's pure, vibratoless voice spiraling effortlessly up through the range of the female alto, the effect is entrancing.

Deller is now 53, but when he first achieved recognition, he was the first virtuoso countertenor in 120 years. Almost...
...retired themselves sympathize with that policy. Says Joseph B. Hall, former chairman of Kroger Co., the Cincinnati-based grocery chain: "I'm in favor of a retiring officer clearing out completely. The new chief executive should get every break." General Motors' John Gordon, 65, has seldom been seen at G.M. since he left the presidency in June. Ralph Cordiner, 65, retreated to the serenity of his Florida cattle ranch two years ago upon retirement as chairman of General Electric, emerged only briefly last year to head Barry Goldwater's fund raising...
