...Buswell it was the third major concert appearance in Cambridge this semester. This time the program consisted of the three even-numbered sonatas for violin and harpsichord by J. S. Bach, for which occasion Valenti's custom-made two-manual, seven-stop Challis (featuring among other things, a 16-foot stop and a metal sounding board) was carted up by station wagon from New York. The combined reputations of composer and performers insured a capacity audience, which as it turned out subsumed the entire range of musical appreciation from hedonism to intellectuality.

By eliminating another unmanned test of the huge rocket, NASA would save about $280 million and avoid further delays in its program to place U.S. astronauts on the moon...
...success of the conversion program has also given the city a psychological lift. "We had a real lack of confidence in our ability to merchandise our town," says the Chamber of Commerce's Greeley. "This gave us a kick in the pants when we needed it the most." Indeed, Springfield is so kicked up about the success of its program that it has undertaken to raise another $650,000 to buy as a tourist attraction a collection of 11,000 small arms that is said to be the world's biggest and best and is being eyed...
