Publicly, the governor and the Vice President are on crisp good terms, but in private, Knight regards Nixon as a political upstart. The coolness between the two began when Dick Nixon returned to California in triumph after the 1952 Chicago convention.

New Yorker Dello Joio, 42, known for the ballet On Stage! and the opera The Triumph of St. Joan, has mastered the stage idiom, molded his music in short, restless phrases.
