...story begins in Melbourne, Australia, some time in 1964, four months after life in the Northern Hemisphere has been wiped out by a brief atomic war, and five months before the drift of radioactivity is expected to blight the Southern Hemisphere. Outwardly at least, the survivors keep a stiff upper lip about what is going to happen. They go to work in the morning, beach in the afternoon, pub at night. Soon, the drinking begins to get a bit heavier, the sex a bit out of hand...
...Bernstein put such distinguished nonprofessionals on his program? "Christmas family spirit," said Lenny. Each man had the background to make the party a serious success. Manager Moseley studied piano under famed Teacher Olga Samaroff, was a fellow student of Leonard Bernstein at Tanglewood in 1941. Later, Moseley spent five years (1950-55) as director of the School of Music at the University of Oklahoma. Sugar Baron Keiser, Harvard '27, won a Juilliard scholarship after graduation, studied piano under Ernest Hutcheson before he took over the family business (Cuban-American Sugar Co.). Keiser still gives concerts near his home...
Double Degrees. In October (its first month), the hospital had twelve patients (only five inpatients), got up to 21 in November, then slumped to three a week this month. Clinical Director Robert J.

And even with professional discount, the analysis comes high: average, $20 five times a week for three years. Two psychiatrists, Drs. Arnold Namrow of Washington and Jay Cohen Maxwell of Houston, argued that they ought to be able to deduct these couch costs from their taxable income as either a business expense or a medical service. Last week the U.S. Tax Court ruled against them. The training analysis, it held, is part of the curriculum for which budding analysts...
Died. Walter Williams, 117 by his own reckoning, and the last living veteran of the Civil War, with a story of a career as a Confederate foragemaster; in Houston. Recent investigations have indicated that Hero Williams was only five years old when war broke out, but his fame is secure : President Eisenhower, pursuant to a July act of Congress, declared a day of national mourning, and Fourth Army units will lead a parade to Franklin, Texas, where Williams will be buried with full military honors...
