...operas by young composers in inexpensive productions to be staged, probably, in the small but well-equipped opera auditorium next door to the Met at Juilliard. Like Conductor Pierre Boulez, who takes over the New York Philharmonic next fall, Gentele thinks that the creative units of Lincoln Center should shun rivalry for artistic integration. Though he is but the latest European to win a top arts job in the U.S., he does not think America should have an inferiority complex about the Old World.

Few people even know...
...with scant training and fewer resources. At the other extreme, big-city departments often become as isolated as Tibetan kingdoms. Unlike business, virtually all police forces discourage applicants for middle-management jobs by hiring only rookies or chiefs; as a result, most graduates of new college police programs shun local forces for jobs with the FBI or private guard agencies. The effect shows. No police chief is listed...
