...George du Maurier's novel Trilby (1894), set in the bohemian Latin Quarter of Paris, the sinister Svengali hypnotizes a tone-deaf gamine named Trilby and transforms her into an exquisite diva who becomes the toast of all Europe. When Svengali dies, so does Trilby's voice. In a two-hour, made-for-television movie titled Svengali, Jodie Foster (Taxi Driver, Bugsy Malone), 19, plays a rock 'n' roll Trilby smoothed into a Streisand by Peter OToole's latter-day Svengali. Foster is on leave this semester from Yale, where she is a sophomore majoring...

This is no doubt deliberate--a modern, detached paradigm of "bohemian" relationships, all that petty squabbling and navel-gazing.

The Soviets cancel Reed's travel plans, the Finns throw him in prison, and Bryant makes her long, surreptitious trek across snowy...
...some of the Kreisler compositions, Mintz's heavy style works. The Russian's Zigeuner-Capriccio (Gypsy caprice) sounds Bohemian, with good articulation and flashy slides. Mintz knows--or so it is said--what it is like to wake up and forget that he is not in his own bed. On the other hand, the recording of Kreisler's arrangement of the Albeniz Tango is no reason to get the butter. Mintz plays it as oversentimentally as the Glasunow...
They'll have tonight as well to indulge in the area's bohemian pleasures, though Carnahan says slightly different behavior is expected of the Army's youth division than of, say, Dartmouth fans...
