...idle moment on the Today show, Critic Gene Shalit said he would like to be a conductor. Immediately, the Long Island Rail Road offered him a job. Then the Orchestral Society of Westchester came up with something better: it asked Shalit to lead a concert last week in the garden of Lyndhurst, Financier Jay Gould's old estate on the Hudson River. Shalit, an amateur bassoonist, accepted with pleasure. As a child, he had taken piano lessons: "You know the kind of thing, the music teacher kisses your Fingers to see if you're a genius."

...night coach passenger who is just beginning to realize he has slept through his stop. But his features have great plasticity. His friend Candice Bergen speaks of his "cobra eyes."

...Young are themselves all prosperous adults, owners of mansions and 800-acre ranches. The rhythm of their lives, private and professional, has settled down to moderato. Loud fracases and nocturnal revelries no longer conclude their day's work. Groupies, once omnipresent, are rare. After a recent Oakland concert, Stills, on his way to an informal jam with some members of the Grateful Dead, was accosted by one persistent young lady.
