Said he: "If MacArthur's not a candidate for President, there's not a steer in Texas. The Mac-kado rides again!" Most everybody else seemed to take the general's own disclaimers at face value: before Congress, he had referred to himself as "in the fading twilight of life"; in Houston, asked if he would be a candidate for President, he replied, "Emphatically no."

Performance and recording: excellent...
...Boston's Symphony Hall last week, 2,500 listeners heard the Boston Pops Orchestra accompany a tenor in those lines of Evening Prayer, then stood to cheer. The composer, whom they were applauding, could not stand to acknowledge the cheers; Robert Grant Jr., 27, is partially paralyzed with multiple sclerosis. But he bobbed his head happily from his wheelchair near the stage. "This is the greatest night of my life," he said...
