...consider myself an extremely young man but a fairly old musician. How long I have played the cello is far more important to me than if I had reached the age of 150 because the years as such do not mean anything, but with the cello, not a day passes that I do not look for something new. I have played it for 58 years, and it is still full of surprises, full of adventures. Mine was made by Stradivari more than 250 years ago, but it stays forever young. How marvelously preserved it is! How beautiful it sounds...
...stimulate student interest, the Marists show movies touching on topics under discussion; one recent evening featured Hud, followed by a seminar on the film's treatment of interpersonal relations. They also discuss modern novels (among them: Camus' The Stranger) and analyze the lyrics of such recorded rock-age prophets as the Beatles and Simon and Garfunkel.

The sexual scenes, and the language that accompanies them, are remarkably explicit, even for this new age of total freedom of expression. Some critics have dismissed Couples as an upper-middle-class Peyton Place. It isn't, but it is getting a sensational reception all the same. Only three weeks after publication, the novel is on the bestseller lists. Knopf ordered a huge first printing...
Haunted Halls. With nudging from his mother, John's writing career began at the age of eight, when he sat down at her typewriter and pecked out his first story, beginning: "The tribe of Bum-Bums looked very solemn as they sat around their cosy cave fire." Even with this early start, his writing career lagged three years behind his parallel interest in cartooning and painting: he had had a collage published in a children's magazine when he was five...
