Where are Girl-Next-Door June Allyson, Novelist Nelson Algren, Psychologist Erich Fromm, Automation Millionaire John Diebold, Folk Singer Burl Ives and Mr. America himself, Bert Parks? Scrubbed out of the 1973 Celebrity Register, for one thing. Instead, publiciety's decennial Almanach de Gotha includes for the first time Rapist Eldridge Cleaver, Lesbian Jill Johnston, Red Black Angela Davis, Existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre, and Senator Thomas Eagleton. For readers anxious to achieve such status, Microsociologist Cleveland Amory, in a foreword to the new edition, passes on some advice.

Last week the festival marked the 20th anniversary of Fromm's foundation with a week of special concerts, forums and workshops, which, for Fromm, were fraught with both the perils and joys of being a modern Maecenas. When members of the Boston Symphony rehearsed for the premiere of Fromm's latest commission, an electronically amplified violin concerto by Charles Wuorinen, they disliked the piece so much that they booed. When the Tanglewood listeners heard it, some of them booed...
Much more successful were reprises of two of the most important works ever commissioned by Fromm: Luciano Berio's Circles (1960) and Elliott Carter's Double Concerto for Harpsichord and Piano with Two Chamber Orchestras (1961). These performances flanked a rare public appearance by Fromm in which he pleaded eloquently for better integration of contemporary and traditional music rather than a mere "busing of indiscriminately chosen new music to the halls of Brahms and Beethoven...
