...Philharmonic's permanent conductor, and plans to de vote most of his time to writing music; his first big project is a new Broadway production based on Brecht's The Exception and the Rule. By virtue of his achievements with the Philharmonic and as composer, author, pianist and TV personality-not to say his new eminence as a 50-year-old-Bernstein is entitled to be called American music's most ar ticulate elder statesman, a status that he will doubtless relish.

It is easier to imagine the author of six novels -among them God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater and Cat's Cradle-as a zany but moral mod scientist at the controls of a literary time machine. He is George Orwell, Dr. Caligari and Flash Gordon compounded into one 45-year-old writer exploring the inner...
