...from the distortion that menaces any child prodigy: "I am one of those privileged people whose early years shine in retrospect as a time of unblemished happiness." There is the extraordinary upbringing: residences in San Francisco Paris and Switzerland, exposure to Europe's musical elite between the wars on endless train rides and the acquisition (without formal education) of competence in half-a-dozen languages and an unfettered intellectual curiosity...
...doing your own thing? Are you up front, or just hung up and uptight? Boston Writer R.D. (for Richard Dean) Rosen calls it psychobabble, and in his new book by that title (Atheneum, $8.95) sees America awash in soggy therapeutic clichés. "One hears it everywhere, like endless panels of a Jules Feiffer cartoon," Rosen writes, "this institutionalized garrulousness ... this need to catalogue the ego's condition...
...course, describing the ways Harvard has made sure that it will "continue to be Harvard," is like conducting an endless discussion. It is virtually impossible to include all the various properties and buildings Harvard owns in Cambridge.

In this case, however, writer and subject are friends of long standing so they have a rapport lacking in some of the other pieces. You may not agree with Schumacher's most profoundly...
Keaton regularly does acting exercises, one of which involves finding a way to key her concentration so that she feels completely alone. If she has kept herself fit with the exercises, she finds she can program and hold an emotion through the endless technical annoyances of film making. Most of the time this worked in Goodbar, but not always. Once, Brooks remembers, he wanted a look of pleasurable anticipation to cross her face as she came out of a bathroom and approached a man who lay in bed. Keaton tried it a couple of times, but came up empty...
