...Gazette's readers, because who in good sense would want to leave the Island? The Vineyard has everything--fresh seafood, clean air, unspoiled beaches, and such interesting people. There are year-round celebrities, like James Taylor, Carly Simon, and James Cagney, but these keep a lower profile than the brash intruders like Frank Sinatra--who arrives annually in yachts 100 feet long and longer. And there are intellectuals to provide some sophistication, ranging from Doris Kearns to Ewart Guinier '33, from Rev. Harvey Cox to Roger Baldwin...
...crassly commercial instincts, briefly sporting the name of his own 20,000-acre development on the transom of his yacht. Finally, Southern Cross's tender rudely ran an opposition boat off its practice course. As if all that were not enough, later this month the brash Bond could well upset the oldest racing tradition in Newport: the U.S.'s unbroken, 123-year grip...
...Justice for writing an article for Evergreen Review in which he seemed to sanction violent revolution in America. Waving a copy of the magazine, Ford pointed out that Douglas' article appeared in the salacious company of photos of nude women. In the course of his tirade, Ford made the brash statement that an impeachable offense is what a majority of the House says it is.

The more or less jocular analogy to William Randolph Hearst is apt: Wenner is a brilliant, brash autocrat with an eye for lucrative markets and talented writers. Perceiving a vast audience for a rock-music magazine, he borrowed $7,500, produced his first issue in 1967. Since then, the staff has grown from six to 90, circulation has jumped to 415,000, and Stone's irreverent, meandering and sometimes erratic reportage has been extended to politics and society in general...
...PIECES of modern drama approach The Threepenny Opera's degree of achievement on any of the several levels on which the play is totally triumphant. Bertolt Brecht's writing is an extraordinary synthesis of wit, imagination, political commitment, and human insight. Kurt Weill's brash, deceptively melodic music intensifies the force of the drama spectacularly. No adaptation could be more faithful than Mark Blitzstein's to the atmosphere Brecht and Weill sought to create, truer to their message or more sympathetic to their dramatic approach. But if the drama is to succeed on stage, these achievements must be equalled...
