Dvorak: The Stokowski Sound ("New World" Symphony; RCA Red Seal; 2 discs; $6.98). This two-record set of the familiar Symphony No. 9 in E Minor comprises the 92-year-old maestro's 1973 taping at Walthamstow Town Hall outside London with the New Philharmonia and a reissue of the same symphony recorded in 1927 when he led the Philadelphia Orchestra. Both readings are dramatic, reflecting the vigorous personality of the conductor. The new recording differs chiefly in tempo. Even with two repeats omitted in the Scherzo movement, the symphony runs some 5½ minutes longer, with a tediously...
Nautical Gait. For the first time in years, Rockefeller enjoyed a summer reminiscent of childhood. He passed leisurely days at Seal Harbor with Happy and their two children, Nelson, 10, and Mark, 7. To those who know him, Rockefeller had never seemed more fit. His 185 Ibs. are evenly distributed over his 5-ft. 10-in. frame, and there is no hint of a paunch.

...Seal Harbor, he awaited news of his political fate with equanimity. "It makes no difference to me whichever way it breaks," he told friends as Ford pondered his choice. "If the call comes, fine.

"I've got to tell Happy," Rocky said somberly as he wandered off to a pine grove where his wife was walking her dog. Exactly how she responded is not known, but probably with, at best, muted enthusiasm: Happy...
...acre estate in Pocantico Hills, north of New York City, houses much of the collection-and includes as well several swimming pools, a huge "playhouse," tennis courts, a golf course and lovely reaches of woodland. During the summer, Nelson and his wife spend time at their home hi Seal Harbor on the coast of Maine. They own a 25-room Fifth Avenue apartment in New York City, an estate on Foxhall Road hi Washington. D.C., and an 18,000-acre ranch in Venezuela. There are no firm figures on Rockefeller's cash income. But one estimate, made...
...official White House photographers have been ordered not to take pictures of Nixon unless he is in his office and only with his express permission. Even his cruises down the Potomac on the Sequoia are more secluded than ever. The Navy cannot seal off the entire river, but it has constructed an 8-ft. fence across the entrance to the dock and down an adjoining pier; now no one can see the President get on or off his boat...
