...Rhythmic elegance is also very important. Even in the first movement of this concerto, which is marked Mastoso and is built on broad heroic lines, the rhythms must be alert and incisive rather than doggedly determined. There are certain turns of phrase which should be rendered with great finesse, and that, in terms of the Chopin style, that means with a very subtle application of rubato. Many pianists, knowing that Chopin calls for rubato tend to throw it on as if with a trowel, distorting the basic metrical life of the music and making the melodies sound maudlin and oversentimental...
...Russians pulled back their airplanes and tightened their control of administration, operations and supplies at bases where Soviet troops are stationed. Cairo, Alexandria, Inshahs, Damietta, Aswan and Helwan are all protected by 15 to 20 batteries of SA3 missiles (with eight missiles to a battery). The batteries are on alert against any low-flying aircraft that might be carrying out ground-support missions for anti-Russian forces-and that could mean not only Israelis but also Egyptians carrying out a pro-Western coup. About 5,000 Russian infantrymen guard the SA3 missile sites, and they have been briefed...

Bush himself appeared in court slumped in a wheelchair. To show he was tragically alert though helpless, he tried but failed to shake Boccardo's hand when asked. The jury gave him everything that was requested: $3,000,000 for himself, half of which is for the projected cost of care for the 40 years he is expected to live...
...debating in their budget-drafting sessions how far they dare move toward restimulating the economy without stirring still more inflation. The President has been moving grudgingly toward an incomes policy. In June, he set up a committee to study how productivity could be increased, and commissioned periodic "inflation alerts" documenting significant wage-price developments. The first inflation alert was little more than a list of recent price increases, but Press Secretary Ronald Ziegler last week promised that the next report, due early this week, will be more specific and "pointed...
