...drawn out, with state caucuses and primaries spread over as many as five months. Increasingly too, it seemed chaotic, with many candidates splintering state delegate votes. Now, after two years of study, a 58-member Democratic Party commission, headed by Michigan's state chairman, Morley Winograd, has proposed a set of reforms that would make campaigns somewhat less taxing for primary candidates. In addition, the reforms would make it tougher for primary also-rans to pick up convention votes, would allocate 25% of every state's delegation to members of minority groups and, most significantly, would make...

Poulenc: Concerto for Organ, Strings and Timpani (Richard Ellsasser; Hamburg Philharmonia conducted by Arthur Winograd; M-G-M). A highly colored work that finds Composer Poulenc at his most charming. It is tuneful, with moments of surrealist shiftiness, brooding melancholy, sheer pyrotechnics. The disk has excessive surface noise...
