...doesn't seem that such a relationship can endure, although we are made to endure every cloying moment of it in The Public Eye. He (Michael Jayston) is a highly paid English tax accountant; she (Mia Farrow), a slightly wilted California flower child marooned in London en route home from Katmandu. They first meet in a restaurant, where she is a waitress, when she accidentally spills chicken with caramel sauce all over his proper blue suit. She is breezily apologetic.

Walter (Switched-On Bach) Carlos here presents four tone poems-spring, summer, fall, winter-that give a good approximation of what a year's hike might be like on the Appalachian Trail. Possible uses: mellifluous Muzak for a flower shop or Japanese tearoom, or dozy balm for the pastoral-minded insomniac trapped in the big city...
