...brought about the concept of the Government Center to replace Old Scollay Square. We then determined, that since a new city hall is built only about once a century, that it was better to build a building that was worthy of the City of Boston and which would hopefully blend in with historic Old Boston in a sensible way, but without any effort to build a $20 million colonial building with leaded windows. So we held a national competition and came up with a very exciting design which some faint-hearted people, you might remember, were somewhat afraid...
Kirchner conducted the three cantatas with his peculiar blend of romanticism and objectivity. His own music displays a predilection for big chords and thick, lush sonorities, and this love of sound for its own sake carried over into his interpretation of the Bach. Kirchner demanded a full-bodied sound from his small ensemble. Occasionally his insistence backfired, as in the final chorus of "ewiges Feuer" (BWV 34) where the sopranos had to force and went noticably sharp. Most of the choruses were full of dramatic dynamic contrasts, crescendi and decrescendi. And Kirchner had no qualms about taking expressive liberties with...
...main mission for both ELINT fleets is the systematic collection and classification of submarine "signatures"-the distinctive electronic blend of propeller and engine noises, wake turbulence and magnetic fields generated by each individual sub. Thanks to Pueblo & Co., the Navy has nearly completed a computer-taped "library" classifying Russia's 450 or more subs, from diesel-powered Whiskey-class boats to the new, nuclear Juliett class. In the near future, U.S. naval commanders will be able to draw instant digital readouts that will identify any Soviet sub they can hear...
...past six months-a record for individual fund raising for the G.O.P. Last week California's Governor was off on his third cross-country speaking tour since September. From the Tulsa fairgrounds to Pittsburgh's Syria Mosque, crowds in four states gathered for a boffo blend of patter and polemic that made party cash registers ring-a-ding. However, the Reagan charisma has had less impact on the populace at large. According to the latest polls, his national popularity has dipped dramatically in the past three months: he now trails President Johnson 33% to 55% and Richard Nixon...
...resists the temptation to slip him into the New Left cubbyhole and looks beneath the superficialities of speech and manner, Ferber comes forth as a complex, contradictory blend of the pragmatist and idealist, religionist and radical idealogue. His belief in non-violence is firm. His sense of perspective and grasp of social realities make him an exceptional even atypical, member of the New Left. If the government jails him, he just may have the entire prison organized before he leaves...
