...Sones admits that his technique involves some risk. Although the catheter is less than half as thick as an average coronary artery, it can still obstruct the flow of blood into the heart. Throughout the operation, Drs. Sones and Shirey monitor the pressure of the blood against the catheter's tip. Explains Sones: "If the pressure starts to flatten out, we know the tip has obstructed the artery or one of its branches. Then we have from ten to 30 seconds to get it out before the heart is starved for blood and the patient has a heart attack...

With Adele Addison expertly taking the vocal part, the work proved to be one of Foss's strongest-a mosaiclike structure full of wispily haunting sonorities. After playing the rest of the program, Bernstein invited listeners who had been puzzled by Cycle to remain...
...Flow of Words. The author's heroine is shatteringly beautiful, amoral, narcotically charming, and men queue up to destroy themselves for her. Such a description might come from any dust jacket, but Novelist Ashton-Warner's portrait is all but unique. Germaine de Beauvais. a young Parisian concert pianist who exiles herself to New Zealand after the death of her husband, is a woman as convincingly evoked as Emma Bovary or Molly Bloom. The narrative is a first-person reverie; a stream of consciousness, then a torrent, then a willful, feminine shutting down of thought. Germaine is mirrored...
