...offices of the Rockefeller Bros, in mid-Manhattan one evening last week marched nine messengers. Minutes later, they delivered to the city's seven daily newspapers and to two national wire services a bare-boned, four-paragraph announcement. After 31 years of marriage, Republican Governor Nelson Rockefeller, 53, and Mary Todhunter Clark Rockefeller, 54, had agreed to an "amicable" separation that will lead to a divorce...
...Woodworth distinguishes two separate moods in Cantata 51: the gladsome rejoicing of the first aria and the concluding Allelujal, and the quiet, more personal reflections of the second aria and chorale. Accordingly, the orchestra was made to dwindle to the bare continuo in this more intimate section, and Mr. Woodworth himself retired quietly to a vacant chair--somewhat disconcerting abdication in any other concert perhaps, but with Miss Addison as soloist (she who can quell Roger Voisin), there is no discontinuity.

As a kind of reformed cad, Richard Johnson is worldly wise...
...party in London five years ago, he came upon two people in a small room. One was a little man with bare feet "carrying on a lively and rather literate conversation, and at the table next to him sat an enormous lorry driver. He had his cap on and he hardly said a word. And all the while, as he talked, the little man was feeding the big man-cutting his bread, buttering it, and so on. Well, this image would never leave me." From it, Pinter wrote his first play, The Room. But he didn't give...
