...later hired as assistant conductor of the New York Philharmonic. Married to a former Tokyo model named Vera, and the father of a baby girl born in December, Ozawa is as hip as can be. At a recent recital by Cellist Mstislav Rostropovich, Ozawa, still sporting his familiar Beatle hairdo, wore a red turtleneck and carried a leather purse on a longish strap. Is Boston ready for this...
...constant, though predictable, threat to the conference, predictable because of the highly diverse character of the constituency. A typical conflict came in a morning discussion group, in an exchange between Chris, the Penn instructor, and Arthur, an affable middle-aged man with a round face and Marty Allen hairdo. Arthur suggested that the differences among the group were small compared with "common priorities" they shared: "I still think that, out of our common background, the religious community, our number one priority should be 'Stop the Killing,'" Chris, a slight young man with long hair and glasses, dismissed this...
...Rheingold winners on a barroom wall. The most frenetic activity takes place in the Livestock Pavilion, where coveralled owners lavish on their animals care that would do credit to Elizabeth Arden. In one stall a West Texas matron in toreador pants, see-through blouse and perhaps the last bouffant hairdo in Western civilization teased the tip of her Hereford's tail with a hot comb. Her loving efforts were of little avail, however; most of the significant Hereford trophies went to Winrock Farms, owned by a former Governor of Arkansas name of Winthrop Rockefeller...

Repeated onslaughts of lung congestion, blood clotting and surgery reduced his body to "a ruin," according to his doctor. Yet until the end, which was attributed to arteriosclerotic heart disease, every one of his maladies seemed somewhat curable, save for his hypochondria. The remarkable features that had been caricatured by such friends as Cocteau and Picasso -bull-fiddle nose, guitar-like ears, pince-nez, natty mustache-remained mobile and alert. Stravinsky carried on with the conversational crowds...
...consumed in moderate rations (down from the half quart a day of former times) ever dull his tart, epigrammatic wit. Conductors, critics and colleagues regularly felt its sting. Stravinsky once said of Leopold Stokowski that "he must have spent an hour a day trying to find the perfect bisexual hairdo." He called New Yorker Music Critic Winthrop Sargeant "W.S. Deaf." Of a new Gian Carlo Menotti opera, he said, "It is 'farther out' than anything I've seen in a decade; in the wrong direction, of course." He also took on broader targets. The technology of today...
