CARL WEINRICH: MOZART SONATAS FOR ORGAN AND ORCHESTRA (RCA Victor). Mozart served a short stint as official organist for the Archbishop of Salzburg. His 17 organ sonatas, though intended as insertions in the Mass, are less religious works than graceful incidental music. Organist Weinrich understands this, and gives a luminous, flexible performance...
...After a three-year stint in the Army, however, Lateiner's headlong progress hit a not-so-grand pause. Columbia Records ignored him, and indeed, Lateiner, who was shy and knew nothing of the ways of self-promotion, never even tried to get his recording contract renewed. For several years he seemed merely to hover on the fringes of the select circle of U.S. pianists; he never quite won the measure of popular acclaim that went to others of his generation, such as Gary Graffman and Leon Fleisher.

Its editor is Harvey Ovshinsky, 18, who put in a brief stint at the Los Angeles Free Press after graduating from high school, came back to Detroit to set up his own paper because "the liberals, the hippies and the anarchists have no organ. We print the other side." Ovshinsky is planning a long career in journalism. "I intend to be publishing this paper," he says, "when...
...Aussie patience and tenacity is near legendary. One eleven-man patrol tracked a single Viet Cong sniper silently through dense jungle for 14 hours before it caught and killed him. In their 14-month stint in force in Viet Nam, the Aussies count 146 killed and 192 wounded Viet Cong, to 24 killed and 132 wounded Australians. The total of enemy casualties is probably far too low for the damage the Aussies have done, because of their own stiff accounting standards. No enemy dead is ever claimed unless an Aussie can walk up and put his foot on the body...
