...fact, the immediately favorable response to his present album has made Horowitz consider more seriously a return to the concert hall. "Oh, yes," he says, "it is very possible that I will play, but I don't want to travel." And he will probably give his public scant warning of what would surely be the most dramatic and talked-about recital of the year. "I would like," says Horowitz, "to announce an appearance quite modestly-and at the last minute...
BREEZY Robert Mondell Ganger, 59, chairman of D'Arcy Advertising of Manhattan and St. Louis, was hardened in the competitive fires of manufacturing in the early 1950s when, as president of P. Lorillard Co., he was instrumental in launching Kent cigarettes. As a result, he has scant patience with the pseudo-academic theorizing of some admen, instead talks to businessmen in their own lingo: "The objective of advertising has always been to sell goods at a profit." A handy man with a trombone, Ganger (rhymes with hanger) paid his way through Ohio State ('26) by playing in campus...
Controlled Nostalgia. There was scant surprise in Boston when Leinsdorf was appointed Munch's successor; he had already made an excellent impression on both orchestra and public in guest appearances.

...such misguided enthusiasm and perhaps one should not blame the actors in the current Charles Playhouse production if from time to time they seem to give up the battle. Still, Stephen Elliott, who plays the central role of Macheath, might show a little more fighting spirit. His performance gives scant indication that Mackie is basically "a lean man, a mean man." Instead, Elliott's Mackie is a genial musical comedy star who likes nothing so much as playing to the audience. When other members of the cast follow his example, the play loses its undercurrent of irony. Instead of speaking...
...body changes, he had to settle for relatively limited changes designed to enhance his cars' basic body lines. Townsend's hope is that the '63s will reverse Chrysler's decline-its share of the U.S. auto market has fallen from 18% in 1957 to a scant 9% at present-and tide the company over until it can bring out its '64s, which will more clearly show the influence of Stylist Elwood Engel, the former Ford designer who was chiefly responsible for the elegant 1961 Lincoln Continental and who skipped off to Chrysler last year...
