...future political and military functions of the Atlantic Alliance. The chances of that now seem slim. At best, the foreign ministers may only be able to agree on how and in what forum the members of the EEC will receive President Richard Nixon if he visits Europe this autumn, as expected. If the bickering continues, some Germans gloomily predict, by 1980 Europe will be little more than a glorified PX filled with Common Market goods...
...AUTUMN SONG is visionary. It has all the impact of Morrison's classics, "TB Sheets," and the more recent "Listen to the Lion," but enjoys the virtue of accessibility. Anybody can get close to the cool jazz tempo with its prominent flutes and deliberate lack of structure, thanks to Rich Schlosser's wonderfully slipshod drumming. Gary Mallaber's vibes add to that unreal quality. Labes' piano struggles to cement the song and fails, yet remains as coloring. Platania's noodling and inconsistency work perfectly here. This is a song of instants, like the vibes and wah-wah fusion...
...song's strongest quality. His phrasing masterfully switches emphasis on repeated lines, or works with an occasional interior rhyme, or manipulates certain lines. I've said before that Morrison uses his voice as an instrument better than anyone singing rock music today. And that is never truer than on "Autumn Song." I bet Sinatra would be proud...
...custodian's plea of Executive privilege. Sirica orders that the tapes be delivered to the Senate committee. The White House appeals, first in the Washington Circuit Court of Appeals, then in the Supreme Court, losing both times (though that is by no means certain). It is now early autumn. The President then either yields to the Supreme Court ruling and furnishes the tapes or ignores it, though it is almost inconceivable that he would not obey the highest court. If he does ignore the ruling, the Senate has no way to see that the court order is enforced and Nixon...
...Autumn Afternoon. 1963. Directed by Yasujiro Ozu, his 53rd and final film. A profoundly simple film about an aged widower hanging on to an only daughter who has reached marriageable age. The old Japanese culture of tradition and ceremony is giving way before the Japan of its sons caught up in a scramble for things--golf clubs, refrigerators, hand-bags. It is a fully realized testament to the Ozu art; the still camera hugs the floor, the rhythmed sound and patterned surfaces give to his subjects the dignity due them. Harvard Square Cinema...
