...private medical care, the 21-year-old National Health Service is in no danger of extinction. There have been bitter complaints (most recently over increased charges for false teeth and eyeglasses and imposition of a 30? prescription fee), but the British know that the program has served them well. In a recent survey, 95% of those interviewed rated N.H.S. good to excellent. Moreover, nine out of ten people who have private hospitalization plans still use their government-paid general practitioner as a free family doctor...
Hooked on Filene's, she spends at least one hour each day in the basement "poking around." She explains, "It's a challenge to see how well you know your merchandise, your materials, your designers.

...humanism and the young's denial-may yet fuse. How? The Paris Biennale offers only the most tantalizing hints.

Written during a hectic three-and-a-half weeks in the summer of 1741, Handel's oratorio has always been a smash. If a nearly endless succession of well-meaning popularizers have taken gross and extravagant liberties with it, Handel is partly to blame. A shrewd businessman, he ensured The Messiah's success by hiring the best and most popular singers in 18th century London to sing it. If the bass singer was not very good, Handel would turn the bass aria into a recitative, rewrite it for an alto or even a soprano. For flexible soprano voices...
