...artwork on the cereal box was meant to entertain breakfast eaters, but it wound up appalling some of them instead. A new package for General Mills' Count Chocula breakfast cereal features a rendering of Bela Lugosi from the 1931 film Dracula. Around the vampire's neck hangs a pendant that resembles a six-pointed Star of David, the symbol of Judaism. When the boxes first appeared in stores last month, offended shoppers complained to the Minneapolis-based company. After the Cleveland Jewish News (circ. 15,000) picked up the story, General Mills agreed to change the box cover...
...signs fo the vitality of a discipline is the existence of disparate points of view among researchers in that discipline. Yet Women's Studies professors everywhere speak with one voice. Are there any Phyllis Schlaflys teaching Women's Studies? Any Jerry Fallwells? Anyone who disagrees significantly with Gloria Steinem, Bela Abzug, et al? I didn't think so. So what makes Women's Studies any more academically viable than any other political agenda...
...commentator at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul. "I had to stop my real education in the tenth grade," says Retton of her decision.

They all had one thing in common: tuberculosis, and the refuge in upstate New York offered the promise of recovery. Sometimes it was illusory. Bartok flourished at Saranac but later succumbed to the disease...
...Violin and Cello, Op. 7 (Jerry Grossman, cello; Daniel Phillips, violin; Nonesuch). Except for the Hary Janos Suite and perhaps the choral Psalmus Hungaricus, Zoltan Kodaly's music is not much heard today, only 16 years after his death. It is his contemporary, friend and colleague, Bela Bartok, who seems to have won the Hungarian seat in the 20th century pantheon of great composers. But Kodaly's music, while less frankly adventurous than Bartok's, is just as redolent of the Magyar spirit, and these two works display it well. The fiery Duo (1914), full of rich and varied strong...
