...Second Violinist John Dalley, 33, and Violist Michael Tree, 46, are both talented sons of well-known violin teachers. Cellist David Soyer, 43, the quartet's unofficial spokesman, is also its most musically seasoned member; his experience ranges from dance bands to Toscanini's NBC Symphony to solo recitals...
...more surprised by its rapid rise than the quartet itself. Quartet members often make ends meet by teaching, solo appearances and freelancing. "We were prepared for a long, hard struggle," says Dalley. In fact, the Guarneri's financial worries have been so remarkably short-lived that they are reducing their outside teaching commitments. This year, the quartet will give about 100 concerts (at $1,200 each), compared with a mere dozen in 1965. Its recording work is also increasing, in anticipation of next year's Beethoven bicentennial; the Guarneri will by then have recorded...
...service module-and made their way through a narrow tunnel into Spider. Then, after a few uneasy moments when the docking mechanism snagged, Scott worked Gumdrop loose and fired his thrusters briefly to separate the two craft.

Then McDivitt began maneuvering back toward the suspenseful rendezvous and docking. Had they not been able to re-enter Gumdrop's cabins, McDivitt and Schweickart would have been doomed...
...last Saturday night Leven had not yet totalled up the week's receipts and the show was still on. He was beginning to admit many of his original conceptual decisions were mistakes. He was already planning an entirely new shown. For one thing, the solo piano accompaniment could not adequately serve the relatively large theatre; Leven would have to experiment with recordings and tapes if the whole audience was to become involved. If only the money lasted, the current revue would become a testing ground for new material and techniques...
Tuesday, 9:30 p.m.: Johansen strides coolly onstage in a grey business suit. After the orchestral opening, his first solo entrance is firm, clean and smoothly phrased. He reads carefully from the score, but otherwise nothing in his playing betrays the tension onstage. After the first movement, Ormandy leans over to whisper: "Bravo." Johansen ripples out silvery pianissimos in the slow movement, builds the finale with structural logic and power. At the finish, the audience-which has been told only thai Peter Serkin is "indisposed" and knows nothing of what has gone on-gives Johansen a warm ovation. Ormandy...
