...Shakespeare. Forget the implications -- cinematic, literary or otherwise -- of Zeffirelli's "The Taming of the Shrew" for my unpenetrating mind; forget any sensation created by the Burton Taylor team. After the movie I remembered one character from the play, Lucentio. Played by Mr. York. "Romeo and Juliet," another Zeffirelli extravaganza? I could have ravedfor hoursabout the figure of Tybalt. Guess why. A year or so later I was ready to go to college. A serious academically inclined young lady? How super to read at Oxford or Cambridge; such a stimulating intellectual atmosphere?

As in the past few years, the traditional A.A.A.S. post-Christmas gathering was long on the verbiage of political protest by radical young scientists and short on reports of noteworthy scientific progress...
...Ticket. The old days meant a great barn of a place called the Syria Mosque, where the only thing murkier than the sound was the drab walls. By contrast, Heinz Hall is a gay neo-Baroque extravaganza of red, white and gold. Its roomy halls and stairways exude an old-world charm seldom equaled by more up-to-date structures of glass and steel. As is typical of old movie theaters, there is not a single seat with a bad sight line-more than can be said for the Concert Hall in Washington's new Kennedy Center...
