...something idealistic about the search for a home in the suburbs. Call it a return to the soil. It's something that calls most people some time in their lives.'' When France's Charles de Gaulle saw San Francisco's suburban Palo Alto on his trip to the U.S. six weeks ago, he hailed Suburbia as "magnifique...
...days, back in Cleveland's Modern Jazz Room, enthusiastic crowds of perhaps six couples used to gather to hear Cannonball (alto sax), and his brother Nat (cornet) launch into one of their driving versions of Cannonball's own Sermonette or I'll Never Stop Loving You. The crowd at the Workshop last week was closer to 200, and instead of sitting reflectively in their chairs, they were standing on them screaming. On the bandstand, Cannonball looked like a large, comfortable Buddha, sleepily contemplating some secret pleasure. But when he raised his hamlike right hand and with popping...
Before the game, Nixon's entourage drove out to the rolling campus of Stanford University (enrollment: 8,760), Herbert Hoover's alma mater in Palo Alto. Dozens trailed after him into the auditorium, where 1,700 jammed the seats and another 1,000 overflowed out on the steps and lawn. The place exploded in cheers as he strode onstage. At the question period he invited barbed ones ("As I said to Khrushchev in Moscow, I've been insulted by experts-so go right ahead"), and got one.

Said Steve Allen last week as he sat behind a large desk in his paneled office: "I'm trying...
...Sonata for two pianos. The considerable body of instruments is never used all at once, but broken into chamber-like groups; even then the instrumental comments are decidedly laconic. Exceptionally, the first movement includes a remarkable passage for tenor and fluegelhorn in free canon, while low sopranos, altos and low violins tremolandi move about restlessly. The peculiar, dark tone of the fluegelhorn (alto bugle) is oddly appropriate in this setting of the most terrible portions of the text. But the canons are the heart of the work. These are uncompromisingly bare of ornamentation, often unaccompanied; every consideration is excluded except...
