...rankings and for the ABC-televised Georgia-Pitt Sugar Bowl over NBC'S Orange Bowl. Coming from a university president, this seemed a curious approach to a troubling subject. It did not improve anyone's perception of a successful football team's priorities. A few guileless words from Tiger Quarterback Homer Jordan in a magazine interview didn't help much either. An industrial-education major, Jordan described his study of materials of construction, coaching education and dairy science ("You learn about different kinds of milk, cheese, ice cream ... all the dairy products"). The Ivy League...
This is a Truman Capote unfamiliar to the readers of Music for Chameleons. Guileless, yet frivolous, self-absorbed, yet generous, Capote through his 20's and early 30's flits heedlessly from lover to lover, from New York to the South, from Ischia to the Continent, returning infrequently to the States, but always writing--a peripatetic dynamo...
...Mezzo Dunja Vejzovic, Bass-Baritone Siegmund Nimsgern, Herbert von Karajan conducting the Berlin Philharmonic and Deutsche Oper Berlin Chorus; Deutsche Grammophon, five records). Wagner's last and most difficult music drama has not had a really satisfying recording-until now.

"It seems like we did the same old script over and over," says Ladd, "dope runner, crazy family, etc." It was because of that guileless amiability that the show so easily survived the departure of Fawcett: Ladd not only looked just as nice, but she joined the preposterous chase scenes with an enthusiasm that would have done credit to a beagle pursuing a tennis ball...
...Will Hays' censorship. Most of the time the story is told, as it should be, through testimonies of survivors. Without resorting to the keyhole journalism of Kenneth Anger's Hollywood Babylon, Brownlow removes the filters from some widely accepted views. Roscoe ("Fatty") Arbuckle is presented as a guileless clown who became a national symbol of infamy before he could grasp what was happening to him. Rudolph Valentino is convincingly portrayed as a modest, good-natured charmer whose gifts are unjustly neglected by modern audiences. In Brownlow's account, Leading Man John Gilbert's career...
