George Gershwin's Porgy and Bess -that wondrous mix of jazz, blues, gospel, Broadway and European romanticism-is a treasure that has been hoarded too long. Productions have been rare over the past two decades, and not all that frequent during Porgy's 41 years of life. Now there is a new version that is really worth seeing and hearing. Surprisingly, at least to those unattuned to the activities of General Director David Gockley, it comes from the Houston Grand Opera, where the show last week completed an eight-day run. With former American Ballet Theater President Sherwin...
Given musical riches of such diversity and dimension, the future of jazz seems more promising than ever. There is still time left for the fertilization process between fathers and sons to fulfill itself. But in New Orleans, jazz funerals for the old Dixieland musicians are becoming more frequent. Preservation Hall once drew on a pool of 200 men; now there are about 40. When all the fathers are gone, the links will fall away, and there will be only the recordings for newer generations to build upon. But that should be sufficient to guarantee the future.

...Thomas Paine, 39, a blunt, quick, florid immigrant, lately editor of the successful Pennsylvania Magazine. Just two years ago he resided in England and called himself "Pain."

With TIME'S Dean Brelis of Athens, Wynn had lately been a more and more frequent visitor to Lebanon, as the conflict demanded a greater share of the world's attention and, naturally, of TIME'S efforts. In this instance, the homecoming was far from joyful...
Sports in America is less a well-shaped and readable book than a random walk on the subject by an author who may be thought of as the writing man's jogger. Besides frequent patches of straight autobiography, there are countless obligatory examples of the disguised autobiography known as the nostalgia-trivia game, including a play-byplay account of how Howard Ehmke almost (but not quite) pitched a no-hit game for the Red Sox on May 28, 1924. A fan as in fanatic, Michener further demonstrates the dread total recall of Jock Lit in reporting his meetings with...
