LAST SATURDAY EVENING the Bach Society Orchestra warmed up for its spring tour by presenting an admirably chosen series of four works, one from each century since the seventeenth, all of which were well suited to the group's small size and intimate style. The string section opened the concert alone with a Chacony, written by Henry Purcell, which exemplified the highly ornamental and formally structured character of the early English baroque. Christopher Wilkins directed the performance with precise care, drawing from the orchestra a highly refined control over dynamics which contributed to the carefully maintained balance among the various...

Somehow the family ties managed to survive. Even after Ronnie's conversion, the brokenhearted bishop could sign his letters, "With overflowing love, dearest...
Known for her composed, calm attitude even in the face of tennis disaster, Evert stormed back with five straight games, patiently working the back line in her patented, mechanical manner. Goolagong, who prefers a more aggressive style of play, lost all the momentum of the opening games and virtually handed over two service breaks and the first set to Evert...
