...orchestra seemed stylistically most comfortable in the Mahler Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen. The string playing was warmer in tone and well controlled (especially the violins in the second song), as were most of the various wind solos which punctuate the work. Contralto Jane Struss was disappointing: she brought out little of the wide dynamic gradation, richness of quality, and dramatic intensity required by these songs...

...much electric power as they wish? A partial solution to the problem of energy supply: limit the amount of electricity an individual is allowed to use. He would be free to use his allotted supply of electricity as he wishes; instead of using his electric shave-cream warmer in the morning, he might use 15 additional minutes of light to read at night, or he could watch a ball game on TV instead of using electric edge trimmers to cut a few blades of grass growing over the edge of the sidewalk...

What interests Smith, however, is the orientation of the poles in between those extremes. Then, both polar regions receive equal heating from the sun. The warmer outer portions of the caps release most of their carbon dioxide and any water into the atmosphere...
