...most important "traditionalists" in his life, Stravinsky and Debussy. His own music (notably Eclat, Le Marteau sans Maitre, fresh, glittering, mobile works filled with a constant sense of surprise that belies their tight structure) reflects his individuality. An acknowledged egotist ("And you can be sure, as I grow older I will become even more so"), Boulez possesses a blazing aphoristic gift for denouncing all those who do not agree with him. On everyone who writes opera today: "Since Wozzeck and Lulu, no opera worth discussing has been composed." On the Paris Opera: "Full of dust and dung." On the French...
...that the FCC had overstepped its authority. The Radio Television News Directors Association, joined by the National and Columbia Broadcasting companies, also went to court to argue that the regulations violated not only the Federal Communications Act but also First Amendment guarantees of free speech. Broadcasters, they said, would grow chary of controversy if they had to worry about a toughened fairness doctrine. In a unanimous opinion, the high court upheld the FCC in both cases.

Sharif's acting is not lively enough to be considered passive; his revolutionary ardor is expressed by a narrowing or widening of his large, liquid eyes...
This time out she is up to much the same sort of trick. In The Economy of Cities, she asks "why some cities grow and others stagnate and decay." To find the answer, she develops a beguiling window-box theory of economics in which personal conviction and anecdote weigh more than statistics. The ingredient essential to the vitality of cities, she asserts, is "new work being added to old." Innovative energy comes from small, independent, hustling entrepreneurs. "The little movements at the hubs," says Jane Jacobs, "turn the great wheels of economic life...
