After the Weather Bureau predicts a seven-day heat wave, a revised forecast that the torrid spell will last only six days seems good news of a sort. In that not-as-bad-as-we-expected sense, President Kennedy had some good budget news to announce last week. Only "a few hours ago," he told reporters at his press conference, the Treasury sent him word that the budget deficit for fiscal 1963 (which ended June 30) was only $6.2 billion.

Concerts have dwindled from 65 in 1939 to 24 in 1962, attendance from 375,500 in 1939 to 194,500 in 1962, while the cost of the cheapest tickets has gone up from 250 to 750. Outstanding musical personalities have drawn remarkable crowds: Pinza (27,500), Belafonte (25,000), Joan...
