...Colombey, which has a population of 377 and is 150 miles southeast of Paris, that the cult is most evident. After the funeral last year, the village priest, Father Claude Saugey, said to the mayor: "Well, Monsieur le Maire, we can now go back to our dull, humdrum lives again." Hardly. By some estimates, possibly exaggerated, more than 1,000,000 pilgrims have journeyed to the general's off-white marble grave, where he lies beside his daughter Anne. The people come with flowers and handmade crosses of Lorraine, plaques and crude placards reading "To our leader," "notre grand...
Until recently, at least, it has been men like Henry Ford and his dull-eyed descendants in the corporate board room who have monopolized the American way of thinking. "What's good for General Motors is good for the country" seemed like a worthy precept to everyone, except all those strident moralists and crackpot spiritual athletes who thought otherwise. The artist, of course, was always in this small group of dissidents, and, if he didn't go off to Europe seeking art for art's sake, he spent most of his time at home pointing out the dilemmas...
...past three years we've been treated to two thrilling victories that made you forget about the records of the teams and one deadly dull victory that made you ignore the records of the teams. Although I won't admit it in the stands, here's hoping for a last minute thriller. Harvard will prevail, 14-10, or maybe 14-12 depending on which quarterback Restic goes with in the final minutes...

The A Major does posses the architectural perfection of Bach's composition, but the long strings of 7-6 suspensions, obvious pedal points, and exposed pedal solos do not produce anything striking. Even the fugue theme was dull. Through it all, Kent's playing was beautifully clear and devold of irritating mannerisms. His style is a convincing blend of new scholarship with old values--striking a balance between Tony Newman's nonconformly and E. Power Biggs' traditionalism...
...Kent was excellent. Tarr handled four different varieties of trumpet extermely well; and his mastery of the valveless trumpet is a great wonder considering the art was lost for nearly two centuries. The program had unusual offerings, but except for the Greene suite those that were not unusual were dull. There are far better ways to employ the skills of first-rank artists...
