...author's cloying habit of referring to the composer as "the Master," Music at the Close is clearly an indispensable and humane book for Stravinskyites. All the uproar aside, for instance, where else could a fan learn that Stravinsky was so fond of avocados that his wife Vera invariably carried two or three ripening examples in her purse when they traveled...
...women's track and field program will include a 1,500-meter race for the first time. One contender is Vera Nikolic of Yugoslavia. During a semifinal heat of the 800 meters in 1968, Vera suddenly stopped and fled the track in tears, overcome by a broken romance. In Munich, Vera will probably compete in both the 800 and 1,500.

"Only behavioral change matters." The program excludes heavy drug...
Future programs, like last week's, will be underwritten by private foundations and the National Endowment for the Arts and researched by Music Historian Vera Brodsky Lawrence, whose mania for musical Americana has resulted in the publication of the complete music of Louis Moreau Gottschalk and of Ragtime Composer Scott Joplin (TIME, Feb. 7). With such continued aid and support, says Hill, "we want to do a dozen or more programs like this one. Even that would barely scratch the surface...
