...full orchestra renewed in vigor in the final two images, conveying nicely the alternately sprightly and solemn tones and then rushingimpressively into "The Great Gate of Kiev," the famous climax. The gate itself was designed to commemorate the Czar's escape from an 1866 bombing, and was ornately depicted in the exhibition painting; hence the bells, gong, pounding drums and full orchestra which close the work in thrilling fashion. The orchestra, although seeming now a bit too fast in parts, ended the work with a befiting clamor of vying instruments, sounding like a celebration and evoking the patent majesty...
Real Victims. Financially, the Credit Society has its outcasts and victims. For all the vigor with which lenders push credit, some people find they cannot get any. Janet Brooks, 30, paid cash for all her major purchases for her first nine years after graduating from Wayne State University in Detroit because she feared she lacked the self-discipline to handle credit. Now, as co-owner of a recently founded catering business, she needs credit; the business cannot borrow unless Miss Brooks and her partner, another single woman, prove their personal creditworthiness.

But the following Andantino grazioso was not so dynamic, and the listless tones detracted somewhat from the verve of the first movement...
Selling the Farm. Still, why sell to an Australian instead of seeking other American prospects? Some Schiff associates speculate that Murdoch's publishing success and personal vigor remind her of the late Lord Beaverbrook, her fond mentor. But unlike Beaverbrook, who used his newspapers to influence British politics, Murdoch is out to make merry and money. The son of a prominent Australian journalist, Sir Keith Murdoch, Oxford-educated Rupert inherited a lackluster Adelaide daily in 1952 and parlayed it into an empire on three continents that today includes 87 newspapers, eleven magazines, seven broadcast stations, and an airline service...
