A grumpy person would tell her to mind her own business and shut up, which I am not going to do, because I'm not grumpy, and if she weren't a woman I'd kick her right in the shins for saying I am.

As a model of how an institution should offer its wares to its city, Lincoln Center's new jazz program could hardly be better. With the schedule announced this month, the ambitious yearlong program will include not only concerts but also films, educational series and lectures. Just as important, the entire octopuslike affair will be spread out across the city. It is hard to overestimate its importance in the next few years. Even nationally, the brute force of a million-dollar first-year budget and a string of 18 concerts, all emanating from an American institution dedicated to the preservation of classical music, has to act as a legitimizing influence.

Date: 17 August 1991
By Ap
The European Community commission announced that it would examine Delta Air Lines Inc.'s proposed purchase of most of Pan American World Airways' routes in Europe. The commission will have a month to decide whether Delta's purchase of some of the struggling airline's routes and equipment falls within its scope to investigate large cross-border deals with an interest to the community. If the deal does fall within its scope and creates serious competition worries in the 12-nation trade bloc, the commission can order an in-depth investigation of up to four months. Delta does not anticipate any difficulties in getting the international route authorities transferred, a spokesman said today. Delta has agreed to pay about $1.3 billion for several Pan Am assets including the Pan Am Shuttle and most of Pan Am's European routes.
