Cadillacs and a Continental. The life style among the Cabinet families is as solid as mahogany and red brick. Bill Rogers drives a silvery-grey 1967 Cadillac convertible, though his wife Adele will probably take it over now that her husband has a chauffeur-driven official limousine. David Kennedy has a Chrysler Imperial. More improbably, Cliff Hardin breaks the academic mold to drive a Cadillac himself, and favors dark suits cut in the conservative style of a banker. Maurice Stans collects primitive African art. The Blounts own fine antiques and Oriental rugs; he drives a Jaguar, she a Continental...
...mighty aircraft carrier U.S.S. Enterprise looked like a belated victim of Dec. 7, 1941. Huge holes yawned in the flight deck. Shards of steel plate and gobbets of demolished aircraft were littered across the 41-acre deck. Cables dangled over the side, and the flattop's freshly painted grey hull was blackened and blistered.

Johansen ripples out silvery pianissimos in the slow movement, builds the finale with structural logic and power. At the finish, the audience-which has been told only thai Peter Serkin is "indisposed" and knows nothing of what has gone on-gives Johansen a warm ovation. Ormandy...
...paper has made a few changes in style. Stories about papal pronouncements now read "the Pontiff said" rather than "as was heard from the august lips of the illuminated Holy Father." In appearance, though, the paper has changed only slightly since it was founded in 1861. Its long, grey columns of type are filled with stultifying ecclesiastical newsnotes under such headlines as FIRST CATECHISTS OF THE MARUDI TRAINING CENTER IN SARAWAK...
