...Story, Four Saints in Three Acts) resemble it in their neatness, transparent textures and often, inconsequence. His departure leaves a gap in the ranks of U.S. music journalism: there is now no practicing musician in its top ranks, no dedicated champion of modern U.S. composers. His post on the Trib will be filled by Columbia University's Budapest-born Music-Historian Paul Henry Lang, author of the scholarly, 1043-page Music in Western Civilization.

But now he is back on the job again and his handsome, outspoken wife, Maryland McCormick, has accurately read the signs, as have top Trib executives. From staff and distaff side, the colonel has been gently urged to make changes in the paper. Says Maryland McCormick: "The odds seem to be against the extreme right wing.
