...President's decision underscored his conviction that, by judiciously selecting its first-string weapons and eliminating those of secondary strategic importance, the U.S. can build an adequate deterrent force within the $41 billion defense budget. Last week's speedup in offensive weapons stays within that limit. The money for it, and an extra $99 million to boot, will come from scrubbing two non-missile nuclear subs-designed mostly for antisubmarine warfare-and by slashing into programs for the BOMARC anti-bomber missile and its SAGE electronics net (TIME, April...
Bartok: Music for String Instruments, Percussions and Celesta, and Frank Martin: Petite Symphonie Concertante (Albert Fuller, harpsichord; Gloria Agostini. harp; Mitchell Andrews, piano; Leopold Stokowski conducting; Capitol, mono and stereo).

After looking about to see that the performers were in their places, Cage somberly raised his left arm. "Zero!" he cried...
