...York firm of I.M. Pei & Partners and chief architect of Boston's John Hancock Tower, will assume the post in July with the intention of establishing new courses in the GSD in revitalizing buildings. "Older buildings embody certain cultural values; they are a statement about our past that should enrich our lives," Cobb says, adding, "We don't have to destroy our past to prepare for the future." Cobb will be a studio professor in Architecture and Urban Design, a special GSD post that will permit him to teach at the University while continuing to work at his firm part...
...summer at Conductor Claudio Abbado's house in Sardinia, playing netball and cards and, of course, arguing politics. (Pollini and Abbado are former members of the Communist Party, Nono still belongs.) When Pollini is not going to the movies -Woody Allen is a favorite-he reads constantly to enrich his musical culture: criticism, biographies, memoirs. In his practicing, as in everything about the piano, he goes his own way. There was, for instance, the time he closeted himself to prepare for an important concert.

If the music doesn't bring that message home, Epstein has added a brief masque to accompany the overture: before a Paolo Uccello-like tapestry...
...while he learned a lesson from the '60s, he betrays a naivete about the heart of America and its prodigal sons. After more than 500 pages of detailed interviews and timeless quotations. Viorst concludes that the movement died because the civil rights movement was no longer around "to enrich it." because the dissidents had alienated the liberal establishment sympathizers who legitimized the protest, because America was tired of it all. Though Viorst never sees the depth of the dehumanization in America that throttled the Movement and killed it in the end. Fire in the Streets is saved by its heroes...
