There is a fine photograph taken in the last half of the nineteenth century. Eighteen hundreds-for those of us without good historical understanding they can at least be approached in crude chronology. Between the war for independence (revolutionary) and the freeing of the slaves, there was another large war, of opposing directions and, at an off-Broadway production of Our American Cousin, the sudden death of our president, a good man. References to this century have priorities in the immediate moment, and beyond the eighteenth century the understanding are truly historical-the chosen preservations that have influenced...
...financial burden was too great to risk, or Dick Jones didn't want to bother doing all the work necessary for a double album. Or perhaps there is some reason I am missing. In any event Follies is available on a single record (Capitol SO 761) and of the eighteen songs which were recorded (four have been cut) Capital admits in fine print to having "abridged" seven of them.

His Pulitzer Prize-winning account of the two worlds of Linda Fitzpatrick, the eighteen-year-old daughter of a wealthy Connecticut family who was murdered in the East Village in 1967, is included here in an expanded version. Far from being an easy exercise in playing off the grotesque obtuseness of Linda's parents against the equally grotesque facts of her pathetic death, the study achieves its drama and poignancy because of all that it leaves unsaid. A sympathetic English teacher can still describe the dead girl as looking...
...Calumet Farms horses are a talented pair. Eastern Fleet has speed and stamina, and Bold and Able has speed and lots of it. Unfortunately for trainer Reggie Cornell. Eastern Fleet, who only runs well when he is on the rail, has drawn post position number eighteen and it is unlikely that the horse will show well...
