...elements that don't necessarily relate organically to each other, as is the case with the greater master-piece, the Fantasy Op. 17. Although Zimerman seemed marginally less comfortable here than in the Chopin idiom and sometimes shortchanged Schumann's dotted rhythms, the middle movements especially were full of fresh phrasings and well-judged rubato. The finale is fun music, and Zimerman seemed to be having fun with it. For an encore he gave the F-sharp Romance, Op. 28 No. 2, informing the audience that it was the last thing Clara Schumann heard before she died. This was amazing...

...movie version of the 1950s, schools split into two camps: the fresh-scrubbed kids (frats, preppies) and the leather-clad rebels (hoods, greasers). It's more complicated these days. Columbine's 1,935 students look a lot alike--mostly white, well off and primed for success. But students have no trouble ticking off a startling number of cliques--jocks, hockey kids (a separate group), preppies, stoners, gangbangers (gang-member wannabes), skaters (as in skateboarders) and, as they say, nerds. Other high schools have variations on these themes. California has its surfer cliques, and Austin High School in Texas...
...changes. "Networks are locked in a box like the rest of corporate America," says Norman Lear, who created All in the Family. "In TV terms that translates into 'Gimme an instant hit' at the expense of every other value, like creativity." Instead of looking beyond Burbank for people with fresh ideas, the networks return to the same talent pool over and over. As Imagine's Grazer puts it, "Everyone is sucking up the same creative oxygen." And too often, when something different comes their way, they turn it down. Case in point: CBS, NBC and Fox passed on The Sopranos...
Nevertheless, the show--which will be at the Met through June 27 and then move to San Francisco, appropriately enough, for the summer--has some exceptional things in it. Perhaps the finest of its paintings, and the most exuberantly fresh in its coloring, is a portion of what must have been one of the great 13th century Italian altarpieces. It is the work of an unidentified Umbrian artist known only as the Master of St. Francis, and it shows a decided breakaway from Byzantine conventions in the modeling of its figures. In its scene of Christ's deposition from...
