...String Quartet No. 3, Carter goes one step further. In the world premiere last week at Manhattan's Lincoln Center, the Juilliard Quartet paired off into duos and engaged in a 20-minute adventure in the attraction of opposites.

Clad always in pajamas and bathrobe, Clark lives alone in one of Manhattan's rundown hotels and is sustained by TV, soup and a weekly copy of Variety brought to him by his solicitous nephew-agent Ben (Lewis J. Stadlen). Clark particularly relishes scanning the obits in the show-biz bible ("Bernie Eisenstein...he was Rodriguez in the dance team of Ramona and Rodriguez...
