Both choral groups sounded beautiful in this piece. The sopranos, especially, have an impressive, lyrical sound. Even the loudest sections were done musically, sounding solid and intense rather than percussive. And the concluding pianissimo section was sung, breathtakingly well.

These figures suggest that Romney has the solid support of a large part of the Michigan electorate--but not quite a majority.

American Telephone & Telegraph has slumped from 66⅞ to 61⅜ since the Federal Communications Commission six weeks ago announced a thorough investigation of its rates, and Alcoa has dropped from 74 to 66¾ since the Johnson Administration cracked down on aluminum increases...
