AGAIN, ALMOST accidentally, the sheer triteness of Nilsson's script is often the richest source of humor. Oblio meets a heap of rocks, Rock Man (Gerald Bernstein), a "stone person" with a deep, throbbing double-bass of a voice and an endless stream of outdsted jargon, "Being a rock," he intones, "is a very...heavy...life. We rocks are impervious to heat. We...stay...cool," And his coolness increases, strangely enough in direct proportion to the number of his cliches, which come fast and furious.

While Nixon and others whose downfall he encompassed have not nearly such rosy prospects, Dean, 36, was looking forward to years...
Aesthetic theory has found no way to distinguish between the mediocre and the great, no way to tell us what is art. That, finally, is the unanswered question. Bernstein speaks well on Stravinsky's behalf, but the proof is in his conducting. And no amount of pseudoscientific analysis will prove Schoenberg wrong. His music speaks for itself...
