BOSTON SYMPHONY CHAMBER PLAYERS (RCA Victor, 4 LPs). The nine players present a well-balanced, impeccably performed concert of Mozart, Brahms, Schubert, Poulenc, Villa-Lobos, Alexei Haieff, and the young American, Michael Colgrass. Having done so, they then upstage themselves by turning the fourth disk of the album over to a delightful discussion of chamber music by Peter Ustinov. "A Walter Mitty as far as music is concerned," Ustinov gives his imitations of a flute ("With my long, pendulous upper lip, I do better without the flute") and bassoon ("a very romantic instrument"). His musical god is Mozart. Noting that...
Talent Candidates. Because of his conservative party's slim margin of 13 seats in the 250-member chamber, a loss of five or six seats would probably have cost Sato his party leadership and the premiership. Now, with the loss of only two, he has taken firmer control of his party than ever. In a major defeat, Sato's chief opponents, the Socialists, lost at least eight seats. At their expense, gains were made by the small parties, notably the "clean government" Komeito Party (tour seats), which is backed by the Soka Gakkai sect of Buddhists, the Communist...

Its author: Madame Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (1831-91), the Russian-born founder and high priestess of the movement...
Sanders Theatre provided a real challenge for Alexander Schneider and Chamber Ensemble Monday night during the first of five concerts to be presented by the Harvard Summer School. The theatre was filled to capacity and programs used as fans provided the only ventilation aside from the windows, which allowed the noise of motorcycles, honking horns, and fire sirens to compete with the music...
...signaled by Documenta IV. Edward Kienholz's grotesque nude on a sewing machine inhabits a macabre room furnished like a brothel. New York's Paul Thek shows a roomful of chunks of dead flesh sculpted in wax. Italy's Michelangelo Pistoletto presents sarcophagi and chest-high chamber pots. Sweden's Oyvind Fahlstrom is represented by Firing Squad, a plastic snowbank filled with cryptic symbols including L.B.J. on a cross, bugs and butterflies...
