...French accents affected were appallingly heterodox) became suddenly irrelevant. Moments of total excitement such as these are rare in theater. I am sure that tonight's performance of The Days of the Commune will measure up, on the whole, as a success-if only for this robust fusion of music and dramatic spectacle. In Sanders, the slide-show of period engravings and photographs should make the mise en scene more convincing-and, with a little more coordination of scene changes, less awkward. In any event, Brecht, Eisler, Lehrman and his company merit the whole University's attention. Tonight...
What about other sources of power? When many estimate that there are over 300 years of fossil fuels left-coal, shale, oil, natural gas-and that geothermal, fusion, solar, magneto-hydrodynamics and other clean power technologies are just around the corner, why the rush for fission? These other power technologies haven't been given a chance. The AEC spends 83 per cent of its research dollar on fission power. Con Edison spent more on advertising last year than on all research. In fact, over ten times as much is spent on advertising for electricity as is spent on research into...

Beyond that, Taylor's use of elemental imagery?darkness and sunlight, references to roads traveled and untraveled. to fears spoken and left unsaid?reaches a level both of intimacy and controlled emotion rarely achieved in purely...
Bitches Brew; 2 LPs (Columbia). With this heady, often shattering sonic fusion of rock's electronics and the classic avant-garde's aleatory atonalism, Trumpeter Miles Davis shakes jazz to its roots...
