Music history is filled with composers who methodically followed the rules - this chord can't follow that chord, this type of theme must be balanced by that type of theme, this structure must be built only that way. Such by-the-book types typically wind up relegated to footnotes, leaving the spotlight on the composers who recognized the occasional need to bend, break or simply ignore the rules. On Sunday night at An die Musik, Peter Minkler, the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra's acting assistant principal violist, and Lura Johnson, a fine pianist based in the area, gave a rewarding recital packed with works by an impressive assortment of rule-flouters.

Gabrielle Spiegel feels a bit of humility when she reads the names of those who have been president of the American Historical Association: names like Henry Adams, Woodrow Wilson and Theodore Roosevelt. "What am I doing in there?" wonders Speigel, who will assume the presidency of one of the nation's oldest academic institutions on Jan. 1. Spiegel does have something in common with Wilson - both got their doctorates at the Johns Hopkins University. Unlike Wilson, Spiegel came back. Now chair of the history department at Hopkins, Spiegel returned to the Homewood campus in 1993 after two decades at the University of Maryland, College Park.

Contradicting an old belief, new research released yesterday found that group therapy didn't prolong the lives of women with advanced cases of breast cancer. The report in the journal Cancer found that support groups improved patients' quality of life and had beneficial effects on mood and pain, but it undercut what had been seen as the greatest potential benefit. In 1989, a landmark study found that group therapy doubled the lives of women with metastatic breast cancer, a finding that spurred proliferation of cancer support groups and fueled a debate about the effect of psychology on the course of cancer.

Nearly two years after its financial collapse, Spiegel Inc. moved closer to emerging from bankruptcy yesterday, thanks to a settlement that the retailer is expected to reach with its controlling shareholder. Spiegel, a Chicago-born catalog company whose last remaining asset is the Eddie Bauer casual clothing chain, plans to file a plan of reorganization as early as today, said David LeMay, a Chadbourne & Parke lawyer representing the unsecured creditors' committee. The plan, a road map for where the company wants to go after bankruptcy, proposes to give ownership of the 140-year - old company to its creditors, which consist mostly of U.S. and German banks, LeMay said.

CHICAGO - Spiegel Inc., the financially troubled retailer that pioneered mail-order marketing, said yesterday that it will no longer file annual or quarterly financial reports because the Securities and Exchange Commission revoked the registration of its shares as part of a settlement.

The revocation of the share registration complies with a proposed SEC settlement Spiegel submitted the regulatory agency.
