...Fanny Brice still contains lines out of the Late Show: "You're no chorus girl, you're a singer." "I love to hear an audience applaud, but you can't take an audience home with you." "I can't go-not like this." As Nick Arnstein, Fanny's hard-luck gambler husband, Omar Sharif, of all people, is only required to stand and listen with large liquid eyes.

On the basis of a survey that he has just completed, Yale's chief psychiatrist, Dr. Robert Arnstein, estimated last week that 20% of Yale students have smoked pot, half of them four or more times...

Privy to all the inside news in music, he is an amiable raconteur, and his office is a hangout for composers who want to catch up on the latest gossip or get an instant reading on a rival's work. "Any opera with that many tremolos can't be good," Arnie will...
