...history, from the circa-850 Sic gloria Domini, in plainsong style, to J. S. Bach's sophisticated Prelude and Fugue in B Minor.

The elegant simplicity of old organ music underscores the fallacy that complications must mean progress...

("Nobby") Tiemann, 41, a small-town bank president, became the Republican nominee for Governor of Nebraska with an impressive primary triumph over Val Peterson, 62, a former Governor who subsequently served as federal Civil Defense Administrator and Ambassador to Denmark. Tiemann, a political nobody six months ago, traveled 65,000 miles in a vigorous campaign that brought him face to face with 100,000 Nebraskans, and gives him an early edge in the November election. He faces another up-and-comer, Lieutenant Governor Philip C. Sorensen, 32, younger brother of Theodore, John F. Kennedy's longtime aide...
