Caesar was conquered by it. Charlemagne pronounced its rich, pungent flavor "fit for the gods." Casanova recommended it as a preparation for love, and Pope Leo XIII treasured it as a gift. Ironically, the noble Roquefort cheese comes from one of France's wildest regions. Indeed, the Causse du Larzac in the Massif Central is a limestone plateau so austere and stony that it is beloved only by gazing tourists and grazing sheep. Confident that the isolation would last, the Roquefort cheese industry has long encouraged shepherds in the area to enlarge their flocks. Since 1966, the additional flood...
...Friend exudes vo-do-de-o-do period flavor, and visually it is aswirl with flamboyant color and movement. Its frequent fantasy sequences, however, are too frequent and sometimes not fantastic enough (a Grecian episode disastrously resembles a small town Hellenic Society on its spring outing). The best numbers are the homages to Berkeley, with their overhead shots of chorines in kaleidoscope patterns. Aficionados of old movie musicals will love these scenes-but not as much as Russell, who can hardly bring himself to end them.

...Virginia, where a veteran, tireless and salty campaigner, Henry Howell, won the race for lieutenant governor by running as an independent.

...work in the Jeffrey repertory, Alvin Ailey's The Mingus Dancers, based on a grouping of ponderously orchestrated pieces by fabled Jazz Bassist Charlie Mingus. The work is an odd mixture of five abstractly modern sections and four stagey "vaudeville" routines, some comic, some gloomily Brechtian in flavor. They include a morose parade of grinning soldiers in clownlike, whiteface makeup, a lady from Spain heel-clacking through a campy flamenco, a pair of policemen mock-dueling with nightsticks. The vaudevilles have no discernible relationship to the abstract sequences-nor, for that matter, to the spirit of the music...
Meanwhile, he said, his daughter is taking the publicity very well, and is carefully going about plans to transfer to a college with better teaching and facilities. "She's intent on a place with an 'international flavor,' and actually, she's just about settled on applying to Radcliffe," he said...
