Ormandy's strength has always been in the late 19th and early 20th century repertory, in the music of such composers as Tchaikovsky, Strauss, Sibelius, Ravel and Debussy. Here he conducts with color and sweep, with glowing sonorities and vivid details. If he has seemed short on profound emotion or penetrating insight, notably into classical composers like Mozart and Beethoven, his musicianship-his pitch, timing and ear for balances and shadings-has always been impeccable.

Levi Strauss's negotiations to build a blue-jean plant in the Soviet Union could be damaged by the boycott. Coca-Cola saw the Olympics as its first major penetration of the Soviet market, which Pepsi-Cola so far has cornered. The company had already sent Moscow large supplies of the concentrated Coke syrup. But last week Chairman J. Paul Austin told his old friend and fellow Georgian Jimmy Carter that the company would abide...
