...Otto Friedrich, author of such previous books as Before the Deluge and City of Nets and a TIME senior writer. In Glenn Gould: A Life and Variations (Random House; $24.95), Friedrich counterpoints Gould's prolific writings with the reminiscences of more than 80 people who knew him, from Leonard Bernstein to his cousin Jessie Greig. The result is a guided tour through the mind of a haunted original who dreamed of "a world where nobody cared what anybody else was doing...
...away those dress-for-success books. Forget the management mystique. The key to thriving in the corporate jungle is understanding dinosaurs. So say Albert Bernstein, a clinical psychologist in Portland, Ore., and Sydney Craft Rozen, a former English instructor at Clark College in Vancouver, Wash.

The New York Philharmonic, for its part, has suffered under Mehta's indifferent performances and low appeal to record buyers. It needs a conductor with fire in the belly like Bernstein; if Billy Martin can be hired by the Yankees five times, can't Lenny come back once? Los Angeles, where the orchestra plays second fiddle to the movies and the Lakers, needs a high-profile glamour boy willing, or indifferent enough, to share power with Fleischmann: Salonen, perhaps, or Rattle...
