...Eighth Symphony is actually well worth taking up the dare. It shows that Sessions at 71 has completely absorbed the serialistic principles laid down by Arnold Schoenberg, and now uses them with rare freedom, spontaneity and expressivity. His orchestral colors look back to Alban Berg, but he is visionary in the way he creates melody through the interaction of contrapuntal strands and in the way he achieves the proper symphonic contrast of mood without the usual resort to repetition. Just as his earlier music is beginning to find favor today-notably the Violin Concerto-the Eighth will undoubtedly have...
...author too. The eleventh of 13 children of a Victorian soldier-scientist, Lytton Strachey grew up as the most squirrelly member of a pandemoniously eccentric household. The grotesque English public school system did little for him except inspire the literary decapitation, in Eminent Victorians, of Dr. Thomas Arnold, the spartan Christian of Rugby. By the time Lytton reached Cambridge in 1899, he was a distinct oddity-a gangly, shrill-voiced, germ-ridden, manic-depressive esthete, caustic as lye except when caught in the eternally adolescent marshmallow bogs of homosexual passion. "Duncan Grant is the full moon of heaven," he wrote...

...Bilek, a former Chicago police lieutenant now administering the criminal justice curriculum at the University of Illinois, said: "A bullet fired into the body of a suspected looter is, after all, a quite irrevocable act." Others blurred the distinction between Daley's kill and maim categories. Said Arnold Sagalyn, a U.S. Housing and Urban Development Department official and member of the President's riot commission: "It clearly seems wise public policy not to deprive a person of his life, particularly without a trial, for a crime that may involve property worth only a few dollars...
Another blessing is director Koivumaki's coordination of the individually engaging performers. They always work well with each other--even in the crowd scenes the level of concentration is high. Koivumaki also makes full use of his theatre and Arnold Clapman's attractive set by taking advantage of the balcony, both stage levels and the seating floor for his brisk blocking. He has at his disposal a set of costumes (credited to four girls) that have been carefully designed rather than simply produced...
