Musicologists traditionally have chastized the French for stultifying their music-dramas with interminable ballets and stage spectacles. Few admit, however, that such practices first flourished in an era (Lully's) when musical expression was pictorial (in the broadest sense) rather than truly dramatic, and thus more suited to the accompaniment of dance than the lofty depiction of experience. Hippolyte abounds with charming gavottes and minuets, airily scored (Rameau was one of the few Baroque composers to treat every instrument independently). But the critical theatrical moments--Thesee's confrontation of Hippolyte and Phedre, Neptune's grant of clemency to Thesee...
...poetry-plus, rather than science-minus." Nowadays not even fundamentalists are upset by the latest cosmological theories of astronomers.

Then Platoon Commander Yang Ju-hsing announced two conditions: "First, they must give us back 3,000 catties (two tons) of cabbage; second, if they do not give...
...Telegram and a member of its staff since 1943. While the Hearst-Howard weekday mix strikes most observers as workable enough, there is no lack of skepticism about the Sunday lash-up. Jock Whitney and Bill Hearst may not fit comfortably into the same paper. All the publishers will admit is that they plan to keep the Trib's popular Sunday supplements: Book Week and the New York Magazine. The daily Trib will continue to be edited by Jim Bellows, 43, who quit as managing editor of the Miami News in 1961, joined the Trib and became editor...
