...does excellent work; as far as I know, there is no one else in Cambridge who can lay gold leaf around the corner of a frame, giving the illusion that there is no joint. More than this, Mr. Swetzoff is a knowledgeable and friendly man with varied interests (yoga, old master drawings) and a sense of humor. He also puts on more-or-less regular exhibits in his gallery room. His present show is of Max Swartz, who does pop art pictures of the Beatles--need more be said? However, in January, he has scheduled what should be an outstanding...
...with a guru. He practiced slavishly 14 hours a day for seven years before he felt ready to perform professionally. Shankar finds the concert circuit a bit frustrating because of the restrictions of time.

The crescendo comes each year in June and August, when Menuhin presides over two top-notch festivals, at Gstaad in Switzerland, which...
...about his successor with the smiling reply: "My lifetime is not ending so very soon." Last week he had helicoptered back to Delhi from a four-day vacation in the cool hills surrounding Dehra Dun. He woke as usual at 6:30 a.m., but instead of performing his customary yoga exercises, complained of pains in his back. Within minutes, he collapsed in a coma from which he never recovered. At 2 p.m., he was dead. A Cabinet minister rose in Parliament and announced in a choked voice, "The Prime Minister is no more...
