After the Government banned cyclamates, the diet-food industry last week began one of the fastest turnarounds in U.S. industrial history. Officers of firms in the $1 billion-a-vear diet market hustled to cut their ties with cyclamates, to find an acceptable substitute, and to redirect marketing efforts to preserve demand for their heavily promoted brands. From now on, many of the diet drinks will be sweetened by a sugar-saccharin compound that may contain 30 calories in eight ounces, compared with only one or two calories in a cyclamate drink and 105 in a cola sweetened with straight...

Though classical in terms of instrumental forces, it played the Beethoven with a Romantic concept of dynamics. Instead of a long crescendo, the development of the first movement was a wearingly consistent fortissimo. In the second movement, the wind-string balance was totally off, reaffirming the traditional inability of Harvard winds to play softly. Even considering the conservative tempo of the last movement, the orchestra's struggling with the notes is forgiveable; but its loudness and dullness...
