...centeredness by focusing on her trivial gestures--incessant slow hair-combing, contemplative re-rouging, a monologue that skips carelessly from sex to her new blue coat. Leaud plays a jokier person than Miss Goya, except when he is with Miss Goya. We watch while he and a Marx-spouting companion lounge in a cafe, get up one at a time, borrow sugar from a table nearby.

This week the publication of a revised and expanded version of his 1956 book, The Listener's Musical Companion, shows that Haggin, at 66, is as snappish as ever.* "Accepted opinion finds greatness in every note set down on paper by a great composer like Bach or Mozart," he writes.

The slightest change in the jungle's normal sounds would send him scurrying from his shelter into the brush, and he and his companions worked out a code of tongue clicks to warn each other of approaching danger. As Itō soon found, no place was really safe. The Chamorros, always armed and forever prowling through the jungles in search of stragglers, discovered his hiding place three times. They killed one of his mates in 1948 and nicked Itō himself with a bullet...
