...later interpretations inflated by choruses of thousands. Today's revived interest in baroque music has resulted in two new albums that aim at authenticity, each using a chorus of 40 or fewer and an orchestra of similar size.

Robert Shaw (RCA Victor), conducting his own chorale and orchestra, shows how dramatic the scaled-down work can be; his version, with its furiously paced hallelujahs, is hard-hitting theater.

And despite a record November output of twelve commercial jet transports worth $38 million, Douglas is four months behind in its delivery dates, slipping further because of continuing shortages of skilled aircraft workers...
...paper Newhouse chain, a puckish bon vivant and raconteur who spent his winters holding forth at Manhattan's "21," his summers traveling to faraway places, all the while striving to put his own plays up in lights (Gentlemen of the Press), but with slight success; of pulmonary edema; in Manhattan...
