...municipal enterprise. As a result, it could now zero in on large, untapped financial sources in Saint Paul and other Minnesota communities. Under Polish Conductor Stanislaw Skrowaczewski, who had been programming an imaginative spectrum of Western music, the orchestra began presenting school concerts all over the state, lowering student-ticket prices at Northrop Auditorium in Minneapolis to $1. When it became apparent that new audiences were being reached, donations from previously untapped sources began to pour in. As of last week, the Minnesota Orchestra had nearly reached its $10 million goal...
October 21: Despite Martin Peretz's printed comment that the Democratic National ticket was a sign of "the worst of times" in American politics, vice-presidential candidate Edmund Muskie brought his campaign to Boston. In introducing Muskie to a crowd of 3000 at B.C., John Kenneth Galbraith said that the real election issue was "Richard Nixon--not the new Nixon, not he old Nixon, but the same unreliable Nixon that we have come to know...

...apoderados, or impresarios, led by Plaza Monumental's Livinio Stuyck, scarcely care. "Cheap cigar smoke has been replaced by the scent of perfume," complains one critic. Women drawn by television occupy more and more corrida seats; so do camera-lugging tourists. Neither group complains about increases in ticket prices of as much as 80%. Neither knows the difference between the "comfortable" Galache breed of bulls they see and the brave but seldom-seen breeds like Pablo Romeros, Tulio Vazquez and the legendary Miuras, who have killed seven matadors in modern times, including Manolete...
