...camera lens with gauze over it," Reiser was dubious about trying hypnosis. He was wrong. In her trance the woman unerringly ticked off the killer's physical features and his clothing-right down to the stripes in his pants and the dots in his tie. A police artist put together a composite drawing that led to the killer's arrest...
...what really counts is the thrill of encountering a glamorous big-name conductor-such as Paris' Sir Georg Solti (who will conduct Le Nozze di Figaro and Otello) or La Scala's dashing Claudio Abbado (Macbeth, La Cenerentola, Simon Boccanegra). Or being present when an important artist breaks through into international stardom-as, say, Paris' dulcet-voiced soprano Margaret Price (the Countess in Figaro, Desdemona in Otello) may well do this time.

Harry Crosby, a wealthy Bostonian of good family and, from his relatives' point of view, regrettable literary pretensions, painted his toenails red one December afternoon in 1929 in a Manhattan apartment he had borrowed from an artist friend.

Opening scene: the trustees are interviewing the Parkers in Artist Helen Frankenthaler's Manhattan digs. The Parkers are bemused by the Volvo station wagon in the middle of Frankenthaler's studio, virtually speechless, and slowly beginning to realize that Bennington is serious about them as candidates. A month later, the couple is chosen and introduced to the students at commencement as "Gail and Tom." Scene fades as the commencement "speaker," a black jazz musician (obviously either sloshed or stoned) gets up to play a bass solo. Close-up of Gail: a look of amazement. "What have we done...
