Changing the Face. The office has seemed to transform the man. He is calmer, more tolerant, less inclined to mike-shattering speeches. He has surrounded himself with young, energetic talent: a 29-year-old Agriculture Minister, a 34-year-old Director of Roads, a 34-year-old Director of Planning. The army seems satisfied, and Belaunde has proved a deft politician in dealing with the opposition that controls 110 of the 185 congressional seats. "Our position," says an APRA leader, "is one of critical cooperation...
Businessmen Below. So many seniors are eager to study longer that the corporation's toughest competitor for talent is the university itself. Nationally, 19% of all seniors go on to graduate school; the percentage is much higher in leading schools-47% at U.C.L.A., 66% at Brandeis, 67% at Harvard and Yale, and 86% at Amherst and Columbia.

He mentions her husband, Rudolf Sieber, grudgingly, never speaks of her daughter...
...Anderson tells me that this is the first work he has attempted on this scale. His conception is ambitious, and it is obvious that performers and technicians have put a lot of their talent and time producing it. Mr. Anderson's thorough understanding of Indian music is apparent, and the synthesis succeeds on one level. But the total result might have been more successful if he had worked separately on all the forms he employed before combining so many of them into one work...
