Musicians who go for broke by trying to survive in the field of chamber music alone often do just that-go broke. The chamber repertory includes a large share of the world's masterpieces, but it attracts a minor share of music's paying audiences. Most players choose to do their chamber work as an afterhours hobby, meanwhile keeping their budgets in tune by teaching, solo dates, orchestral jobs or television-and movie-studio work...
...that the bird of Wall Street is the dove. So it was no real surprise last week when new hope for peace in Viet Nam gave the stock market an exuberant lift. A paroxysm of trading twice shattered daily volume records on the New York Stock Exchange and sent share prices up enough to erase a third of the past winter's losses. Then, at week's end, the market settled back and waited to react again to events...
Next day was quieter, as stock prices edged up a bit more (2.71 points on the Dow-Jones industrials) and volume held high (14.52 million shares). On Wednesday, with the news that North Viet Nam was at least willing to talk, the trading avalanche roared to a 19.29 million-share crescendo.

Instead of collecting a commission, the Swiss charge buyers of gold more than they pay sellers. That "spread" started out as high as $3 per oz. in the first days after...
...Poole. The script development is, again, linear: the accepted relationship of man using machine is presented initially, then discarded in favor of an equal balance between the two (HAL, for example, asks Bowman to show him some sketches, then comments on them). This equilibrium where men and machine perversely share characteristics shatters only when HAL mistakenly detects a fault in the communications system. The HAL computers cannot make mistakes and a confirmation of the error would necessitate disconnection. At this point the balance shifts again: Bowman asks HAL to explain his mistake and HAL denies it, attributing it to "human...
