...musical tribute would be just the thing to mark the occasion. Trouble is, she conceded, "we are as far removed from the great world of music as if we lived on the rings of Saturn." So Miss Peter, 73, persuaded Composer Norman Dello Joio to write a special work for the sesquicentennial, then hired Eugene Ormandy and his Philadelphia Orchestra to come to Little Rock to play it. She mortgaged a small portion of her land to foot the $60,000 bill, meticulously planned the concert to the last detail (even making sure that none of the musicians was allergic...
...pain exists without letup, says Neurosurgeon Benjamin L. Crue of the City of Hope, the chances are 10 to 1 that it is neurotic or at least psychogenic. "Organic pain doesn't work that way," says Crue. "It comes and goes, with a few exceptions such as some cases of cancer. Nearly all the rest of the pain that patients call 'constant' or 'unremitting' is psychological." This is not to say that such pain is not "real." Most medical authorities now agree with Sternbach, who says: "Excluding the malingerer, who by definition is a deliberate...
Orchestra managers do not begrudge the musicians their salaries. Says President Talcott Banks of the Boston Symphony, which now has a guaranteed minimum wage of $14,000 for 52 weeks of work a year: "The raise in salary levels we are now paying was long overdue."

Manhattan's Whitney Museum is planning to put together an exhibition of the work of a number of them in the autumn, although Associate Curator Robert Doty does not regard the show as a trend setter. "There's been a continuous stream of this kind of expressionistic art from the Romanesque period on ward," says he. "Look at Goya. Look at Bosch." For that matter, look at Chicago's Ivan Albright, California's Edward Kienholz...
Extra Ear. Of all the grotesque artists at work today, perhaps the ones with the soundest and most logical reasons for being angry at the world are Vienna's five "Fantastic Realists": Rudolf Hausner, Erich Brauer, Ernst Fuchs, Wolfgang Mutter, Anton Lehmden. All underwent the real enough traumas of World War II. By what may or may not be coincidence, their admirably precise diableries are also gentler, more conventional, more philosophical, more ethereal than their American counterparts'. Though all are firmly established in their native Vienna, none had made much of a splash elsewhere until London...
