Adultery, fornication and homosexual acts were also against the law, as was "lascivious carriage," a curious catchall offense loosely defined as "conduct which is wanton, lewd or lustful and tending to produce voluptuous emo tions." All that has now been changed...
Relegated to the Hearth. Tiger calls this particular kind of masculine affinity "bonding": the forging of strong emo tional ties between men that have noth ing to do with women. He contends that these male bonds go back to the origins of human society, owe much to man's animal genesis and are probably genetically determined. They must first have been formed, Tiger speculates, when man turned hunter - an event that occurred anywhere from 2,000,000 to 26 million years ago and that forever after relegated man's female companion to the responsibilities of the hearth...
Leading performers get terribly emo tional about their instruments (which the manufacturers lend out for concert use in exchange for the prestige that the pianists bring). Glenn Gould always played Steinway's No. 174; when it collapsed some years back, he was thrown into a deep depression. Gary Graffman, Eugene Istomin, Jacob Lateiner and Leon Fleisher at one time all craved Old 199, and they passed it around among themselves so that each could have it for major concerts. Dame Myra Hess used to think of her pianos as so many husbands, once cabled Steinway...

Conductor Carlo Mario Giulini does so here, and it is unlikely that anyone could be more eloquent. He does not set the Dies Irae ablaze as Toscanini did, but his performance has a steady incandescence. Honors also go to London's Philharmonia Orchestra, its huge chorus, and the four soloists...
...that a growing number of Latin American leftists, as one Bolivian says, ";feel closer to poor struggling China than they do to rich, powerful, bourgeois Russia." Chinese-oriented Communists now reportedly outnumber the Moscow followers among Peru's party members. And in Venezuela, Peking certainly talks the right emo tional language for the F.A.L.N. guerrillas fighting in the hills. Last month a Venezuelan delegation of F.A.L.N. sup porters traveled to Red China, where they were received by Mao Tse-tung. They then traveled on to North Viet Nam for a visit last week with Ho Chi Minh - and presumably...
