...sneering cynic, contemptuous of Mozart's "pretty" music, and the record company huckster, who likes "pretty" music because it sells, offer us two sides of the same worthless coin. They both depend on Forman's film and is assassination of Mozart the genius, the child prodigy whose music was great because it was the work of a great man. The film liberates us from what may be an illusionary image of Mozart, but leaves us with no reason to judge the music as worthwhile.

They have been joined by an unusual coalition that includes victims of such diseases as Parkinson's and even by quite a few converts from the pro-life camp. Their tactic is to separate the issue...
YUGOSLAVIA. When U.N. troops begin their patrols in Croatia by the end of April, their first task will be to break the stubborn pattern of mutual recrimination that has characterized nine months of warfare. Since the neutral soldiers will carry only light arms, their success will depend largely on whether the Serbs and Croats can be made to fear the international opprobrium that would attend any attack on the blue helmets...
