...going to be shocked." said an 18-year-old soprano. She was right. When the 55 youngsters of the Princeton (N.J.) High School Choir performed in West Berlin, audiences were indeed shocked, but they were also delighted. People who had turned up expecting to hear such staples as Surrey with the Fringe on Top, got a dose of Anton Webern-the complex Cantatas Nos. 1 and 2-plus a Buxtehude cantata and Bach's Magnificat. As it passed the mid-point of its month-long tour of Europe last week, the choir had collected a scrapbook full of glowing...
Without Good Will. Industries and mail-order stores organized their own makeshift postal services. Unhappiest vic tims by far were a Yorkshire laborer, Len Darnton, and Surrey Garage Hand Gabby Senecal, who both mailed in winning football pool coupons but failed to collect $27.000 and $75,000 because their entries were not delivered in time...

Lloyd George was a humbug ("a Bible-thumping pagan," is his son's phrase), something very close to a crook (the question of a political fund, most of which may have stuck in his own pocket, was never cleared up), and a sedulous seducer on a scale "unprecedented...
...union socialism: Lloyd George was too busy being a pasha to be a pundit or a prophet. Fame, money, wit, his bounderish bounce and white-maned, apple-cheeked handsomeness proved catnip to women, and he maintained what his son calls a "modern seraglio" at Churt, his princely estate in Surrey. On one of his increasingly rare visits to the old man's home Richard answered the phone; the caller' wanted to speak to the mistress of the house. "Which one?" asked Richard...
