UNTIL yesterday, George Romney had displayed no greater prowess in the art of presidential politics than in the sport of bowling. Not only was Romney's curious blend of the rugged handshake and the brainwash proving ineffective, but among its indirect consequences loomed the increasing inevitability of Richard Nixon. Whether Romney's withdrawal comes in time, whether his staunch supporter Nelson Rockefeller will jump promptly into the breach, and whether Rockefeller, beyond offering hope to the Republican Party, offers anything to the country at large, remains to be seen. But whatever the developments, Governor Romney's decision stands...
...fable of reality once removed. But charging the atmosphere with a Pinteresque amalgam of the incongruous and the comic is not enough. The film rests on a script by Shelagh Delaney (A Taste of Honey) that settles for cringingly arch character names (Smokey Pickles, Mr. Noseworthy) and a naive blend of symbolism and social critiscism. What is worse, Charlie's contempt for the traps and trappings of wealth cannot hide an underlying self-pity, accentuated by Actor Finney's eyes-closed, O-God-I'm-so-weary-of-you-all posture. And Charlie's wild-blue...
...brought about the concept of the Government Center to replace Old Scollay Square. We then determined, that since a new city hall is built only about once a century, that it was better to build a building that was worthy of the City of Boston and which would hopefully blend in with historic Old Boston in a sensible way, but without any effort to build a $20 million colonial building with leaded windows. So we held a national competition and came up with a very exciting design which some faint-hearted people, you might remember, were somewhat afraid...
This plan and other plans were carried out with a unique blend of private enterprise and the public sector. You will remember that nonprofit corporations took part in both the Waterfront and the Central Business District. Merchants in the business community raised the "seed" money: in one case $200,000, and in the other case $250,000. We then signed a memorandum of understanding between the BRA and the non-profit organization agreeing, not to the adoption of their plan in toto, but rather that there would be consultations between their staff and the BRA as to any significant changes...
Kirchner conducted the three cantatas with his peculiar blend of romanticism and objectivity. His own music displays a predilection for big chords and thick, lush sonorities, and this love of sound for its own sake carried over into his interpretation of the Bach. Kirchner demanded a full-bodied sound from his small ensemble. Occasionally his insistence backfired, as in the final chorus of "ewiges Feuer" (BWV 34) where the sopranos had to force and went noticably sharp. Most of the choruses were full of dramatic dynamic contrasts, crescendi and decrescendi. And Kirchner had no qualms about taking expressive liberties with...
