...seemed like a partnership that could not miss. Composer-Conductor Leonard Bernstein and Choreographer Jerome Robbins, who created an authentic American dance classic in Fancy Free (1944) and later joined forces on Broadway's evergreen West Side Story, were collaborating on a new work for the first time in nearly 17 years. In the season of The Exorcist, their theme had a certain built-in appeal: the ancient Jewish folk myth of the dybbuk, a wandering spirit of a dead person that invades and inhabits the body of a living man or woman. So what could go wrong...
...people, of course, but since Ford is now next in line for the presidency, he's a convenient and unusually important representative example. Ford's other public acts--his consistent opposition to social welfare programs and his call for the impeachment of Justice Douglas for writing an article in Evergreen Review--would be enough by themselves to make opposing him (next week when he comes to speak at the Harvard Republican Club, for example) important. But these acts aren't criminal. Waging aggressive war is, and it's important to consider whether financing it--as Ford and his less powerful...

The delicate lyricism he conjures up between oboe and English horn in the pastoral movement of Berlioz's Symphonic Fantastique would be welcome at a chamber music recital. Yet for all his romantic predilections, Solti expertly...
Youngsters who have left-and some who remain-view the dispute as a matter of principle rather than grammar. In 1971 Reporter Joe Eszterhas was fired after writing an embarrassing satire for Evergreen Review on the Plain Dealer's handling of its scoop on the My Lai massacre photos. That caused ill will and became part of the continuing friction that defined itself in terms of both age and politics. Junior reporters began calling two older executives "Mad Dog" and "Snake," and were in turn referred to as "the Cong" and "the Revolutionaries." For a while management fretted over...
