...Chamber Soloists were enthusiastically received, an encouraging start for the Cambridge-Early Music Society's twentieth season. Had all the players caught the enthusiasm of the Messrs. Bressler, Murcell, and Ritchie, the evening would have been still more successful. Even so, a performance such as this with under fifteen people has infinitely more vigor than the cast-of-thousands approach used by the large opera organizations in their infrequent Handel offerings. Acis--along with Henry Purcell's chamber opera Dido and Aeneas--could make a strong case for baroque opera. It is a sad commentary on the form, however, that...
...could not stomach it. Massculture artifacts are common coin in gallery art today; they were not so when Paolozzi, working in Paris, produced a whole series of collages scissored from American magazines-cover blondes from pulp thrillers, bombers and Jell-O from LIFE. Fifteen years ahead of time he predicted the grotesque iconography of lushness, repetition and violence that American artists would eventually discover in their own culture. In 1952 he helped form the Independent group in London whose aim was to present mass culture as a source of art. In postwar Europe, this material seemed to come from...
...sidles up beside you to let you share her scrapbook, you can't help but understand.

While waiting out the closed-door sessions, Ostling took the opportunity to have a close look at Berkeley's colony of "Jesus Freaks." Our first major article on the movement appeared soon afterward. Continued exposure to the new genre convinced Ostling that there was much more to be said. Hence this week's cover story on the Jesus revolution...
...Logic. The first part is hilarious. Esther Greenwood, as the heroine is called, is an awkward rube of a girl with "fifteen years of straight A's" behind her but absolutely no experience of life -even as it was known to teen-agers in the '50s. She and her fellow "guest" editors are herded around the city "like a wedding party with nothing but bridesmaids." Upon discovering caviar, Esther consumes a pound or so at a magazine luncheon, paving her plate with chicken slices and smearing on the high-priced spread. But she knows that the whole enterprise...
