...characterize her other books--Therese and Isabelle. The Woman with the Little Fox, and The Taxi. This latest novel, written entirely in dialogue, appears at first as innocent as a children's story; a slim, airy volume decorated with whimsical sketches of a multi-colored taxi standing under childishly drawn trees. But there was no innocence in Leduc's life, and there is none in her art. The Taxi is a story of children, but it is no Petit Prince. Leduc's children are beyond their years in sophistication, their age of innocence informed with a deep worldly wisdom...
...from what might be called the camaraderie concertos, the Sinfonia Concertante, K. 297b (featuring oboe, clarinet, bassoon, horn) and the Flute and Harp Concerto, K. 299, to the solo works for bassoon (K. 191), flute (K. 313), oboe (K. 314) and clarinet (K. 622).

Hence the idiocy of the comparisons that get drawn between Stones concerts and Nazi rallies. Hitler was in command of his audience; Jagger...
...Planet of the Apes. The fourth of the series of simian-centered fantasies. The time is 1991, and apes have become the new oppressed of the earth (though the humans shown don't seem much better off). Even the serial aspect is fun, though its also getting drawn out. Paul Dehn again has written a clever script, while J. Lee Thompson, who has become a bona fide yard-goods man, directs mechanically, at the SAXON...
