...unbelievably agile fingers and arms of Vladimir Horowitz, has filled a huge hole in the record catalogue. The release is part of Angel's "Great recordings of the Century" series, and is taken from a 78 rpm recorded in 1932, when Horowitz was at his best. Though the stereo addict will wince at an occasional impurity in sound, Horowitz's performance is superb. The Angel version far surpasses the few recordings of Liszt's sonata available earlier...

Burroughs will remain grand dragon of the YADs, by acclamation and by forfeit (he denies, of course, having anything in common with his beatnik vassals, but this is merely good form; no one ever admits...
...bareback rider. Where on earth went all of Pat's on-screen morality? "I have stepped out of the groove," he said. "In my first six movies I played myself. From now on I don't care if I play a derelict or a drug addict, just so long as the movie has a worthwhile message...
