...cultural delight and pellucid serenity of music. Since its inception in 1918, the Lewisohn concert series has fulfilled that function with zeal and occasional distinction. Of late, the masses seem to be flocking to the concrete-tiered stadium with somewhat less enthusiasm, and several topflight performers (Rubinstein, Isaac Stern and others) now shun it.

The first Brooke rajah was James, a wealthy, high-minded adventurer who sailed out from England to "rid the Malay Archipelago...
...William Randolph Hearst, helped to create at the turn of the century when he made the Examiner his showcase and it clobbered all comers with its sensationalism. Since 1960. when the Chronicle overtook the Examiner for the first time, Hearst executives have ladled out a small fortune in a stern effort to regain the top spot in the town where the chief got his journalistic start. The job will take some doing. Behind the austere facade of the Chronicle Building at Fifth and Mission, flamboyant Executive Editor Scott Newhall, 49, operates one of the wackiest circuses in modern U.S. journalism...
