...music of the first part and the situations that it animated glowed with an almost Latin fervor. Andrey and Natasha (well sung by Morley Meredith and Helena Scott) faced each other across a garden ashiver with moonlight and poured out their yearnings in great warm gusts of melody; Natasha pirouetted giddily at a ball and lacily sang her infatuation with Anatol across the shimmer and sheen of violins. In one magnificent ball scene, a percussive, insistent invitation to the dance ("Dance, dance, dance the waltz") eerily foreshadowed the dance of death that was to come on the battlefields. In other...
...departed as far from the facts of the novel as it does from its spirit. The central event--Napoleon's invasion of Russia in 1812--still remains, and so do a considerable number of the major characters. Natasha Rostov still falls in love with the noble soldier, Prince Andrey, and out again, and in again just before Andrey dies.

Slaves fo Delusions. Specialization had its defenders. Harvard's Professor of Education Phillip Rulon argued that scientists, by & large, were well educated and civically conscious. Purdue's Engineering Dean Andrey Potter contended that engineering schools today respected the humanities. Purdue's average engineering student, he said, spends four-fifths of his time on his specialty, and one-fifth on the humanities, i.e., the rest of the universe. Even this slim ration is considerably cut by many schools...
