...this welter of charge and countercharge, Hart can no longer portray himself as financial underdog to the lavishly funded Mondale. Quite the contrary; it is Mondale who is now being forced into some unaccustomed penny-pinching. Hoping to lock up the nomination early, Mondale spent heavily on the early contests; by the end of March his outlays will total about $12.5 million, and federal law permits him to use only $7.7 million more before the convention. Finance Chairman Timothy Finchem insists that will be enough to stage an effective drive through the late primaries and caucuses, but in Mondale...
...host of politicians, antipoverty groups and religious organizations swiftly denounced the findings. Their reaction blighted White House hopes that the investigation would be accepted as the "no-holds-barred study" President Reagan had requested. He created the commission last August amid a welter of complaints that the deep cuts in federal food programs had contributed to an alarming rise in hunger...

But the court declined to grant a stay because fewer than four Justices indicated a belief that the issues would prove significant enough to merit a formal review. Autry would thus have died without a chance to file a fully argued petition...
...cellos better suited to powerful Strauss tone poems. The wind instruments are louder and more penetrating than classical flutes, oboes and clarinets and more complex in their mechanisms. The piano, a huge concert grand with a booming bass, is worlds removed from its gentler 18th century forerunner. In this welter of sound, inner voices are lost, delicate balances are destroyed. Exciting as the performance might be, the result is as distorted a reproduction of an art work as the Mona Lisa on a Trinitron...
