Vaulting & Cavorting. By that token, Kodály himself is a supreme product of a lifetime of singing. Though shy and frail-looking, he leads a bustling life in his Budapest apartment, and his mind remains agile enough to lace everything with a salty streak of wit.

Though the sum was far short of his goal, Lindsay scored a moral victory by winning a graduated income tax of up to 2% for city residents and a token "earnings tax" of from one-fourth to three-eighths of 1% on commuters.* The subway fare will almost certainly have to be increased...
