...remainder of the concert concerned itself with the orchestra's other goal of presenting unusual music. Under Malcolm Holmes' direction, the orchestra gave first-rate performances of two old and quite unfortunately neglected works: a Purcell suite from "The Virtuous Wife" and a Corelli Concerto Grosso in D.

But Salazar was a virtuous man-selfless, intelligent, efficient. If despotism could be benevolent, Salazar's character was ideal material for "the good dictator." Born at Santa Comba Dao, not far from Europe's second oldest university, in a typical pink-walled Portuguese Village, he had made such good marks in grade school that...
