Hanson was content to make the case for conservatism in his own work. In keeping with his belief that the simple major chord "is to music what such words as God and love are to language," he stayed mostly within the bounds of traditional harmony, building up solid forms that were infused with ruddy Nordic vigor and romantic lyricism. Last week, conducting the New York Philharmonic in the world première of his Sixth Symphony at Manhattan's Lincoln Center, Hanson, 71, made his case again...
...authors are always willing to settle for a handful of shameless titters from the audience ("Clint, honey, what was the idea of that crystal ball?" "Guffaw, guffaw!"), but this year's were content with less. I saw them shoveling it in at a lunch for Angela Lansbury last week, telling someone they'd been sitting on the script for nearly a year.

In one elaborate ruse, the M:I team stole a whole train and pulled one car full of passengers into a shed where, with the help of films and sound effects, they convinced the passengers that there had been a wreck. In another, they saved the day by starting an earthquake with supersonic waves. This week, they unnerved a murder-for-hire...
