...Mass is itself a work which is long in the hearing and long in the understanding. It is big and loosely organized. What contributed most to conductor Schmidt's reading of the work was his complete control of balance among singers and players. At times, one began to lose track of the development and growth of themes but this could be entirely laid at the door of technical inadequacies on the part of the performers. In addition the repeated fugal entrances of the chorus in the Credo and Gloria were, through their overt pompousness, a built-in weakness...
...Kremlin has put a damper lately on portions of the U.S.-Russian cultural-exchange program. The American Ballet Theater arrived in Moscow last June to an officially cool reception. After the bombing of the Hanoi-Haiphong oil depots, the Russians stood the Americans up at a scheduled Soviet-American track meet in Los Angeles; when U.S. swimmers came to Moscow, Pravda reported the meet without mentioning them. Last month American Jazz Pianist Earl ("Fa-tha") Hines's sextet, on an official tour of Russia, found its bookings in Moscow and Leningrad suddenly canceled, was detoured by its government hosts...

This week 175 members of the Lake Club of New Canaan are scheduled to share the loot as extras. It's not that they need the $5 a day; it's the glimpse...
...Gemini 10 to the tin lizzie. At the time of the Crash, a mere 1,371,920 people were, as the saying went, "playing the market." Most of these were either professional speculators or amateur gamblers who might have done better at the $2 window at the nearest race track. Today, corporate ownership through shareholding is the warp and woof of American life. Some 20,120,000 people (more than half of them women) own stocks in their own right. Another 3,600,000 participate in the market through shares in mutual funds, which themselves own $35 billion worth...
