...never produced a book developing such themes. This task was left for an editor, Edward C. Aswell of Harper and Brothers, who published Wolfe's last novel, You Can't Go Home Again (as well as his penultimate novel, The Web and The Rock) after his death at the age of 38. It contained pieces of social criticism, which Aswell gathered together and heavily edited, and it touched on such subjects as economic depression, social decadence and fascism...
...victimized me with the aid of a female confederate." One friend, Jamie Buckingham, a well-known charismatic writer, told the Washington Post that Bakker "was very surprised that this gal was able to perform the way that she did . . . He described her as very professional for 21 years of age . . . She knew all the tricks of the trade." Hahn indignantly told Long Island's Newsday, "That was not my style, honest.

Inspired in equal measure by the roller derby, Coney Island fun fairs and the smoke bomb-accented variety of rock concert, Starlight turns a small boy's dream about model-train racing into an $8 million extravaganza, the most expensive show in Broadway history...
...Japanese dentist in Occupied Manchuria, Ozawa was exposed to Western music at an early age, and his musical education continued after the family moved back to Japan in 1944. What did it matter that classical music in Japan had a very short history? "Western music is so organized," Ozawa observed last month in Paris, where he was conducting at the Opera. "It is so strong and so logical that it is very easy for every nationality to learn." At the Toho Gakuen School of Music in Tokyo, Ozawa studied conducting with Hideo Saito, who had been a pupil of Cellist...
