...concert at Manhattan's Metropolitan Museum was a typical Schneider enterprise. It was part of yet another series directed by him. The program consisted of chamber works by Haydn, Mozart and Schubert, all played by Schneider and his fellow performers with much warmth, zest and perhaps a shade too much emotionalism (in Schneider's view, "Haydn was a romantic composer; Mozart too-and Bach"). The performance was unified, but each player had the freedom to express his own personality. "Homogeneity is the worst thing in music," Schneider explains. "It is not so good in marriage either.

...Commerce Department last week reported that in the first six months of the year, the U.S. economy grew at a real rate (i.e., not including inflation) of 5%. In the second quarter, the nation's output of goods and services increased by $19.6 billion, which was only a shade under the first quarter's record $20.2 billion.

A shade under medium height, conservatively sheared, dressed and spectacled, Goodman blends in perfectly with the traffic on Wall Street. He is the archetypal mild-mannered reporter who, in times of imminent absurdity, steps behind a typewriter and strips down to his superego...
...picture window that turns opaque at the flick of a switch, giving those inside instant shade and absolute privacy. A wall clock, no thicker than a pane of safety glass, that flashes the hour without any tick or hum. A small screen that records the face of a telephone caller even when no one is home to pick up the receiver. Such items may seem like excerpts from a catalogue of 21st century technology, but RCA scientists say that they are already within reach. And they are only a small sampling of the practical new uses that are promised...
