Gato has matured, to borrow from some of Nat Hentoff's album lining prose, and his stuff has gotten more vibrant, if less free in form over the years. He has, however, traded in the top jazz back-up men for some players who would do better accompanying Bruce Springsteen. Now Gato's in town, but before you go down to Paul's Mall to see him, consider this: the last time he was in Boston he played nothing but jazz/rock including cuts from his "Alive" album, which he recorded one week after his appearance here...
...midst of a recent radio interview by Liberal Columnist Nat Hentoff, William F. Buckley Jr., the elegantly acerbic conservative commentator, suddenly stopped short the colloquy, looked down, and testily muttered, "Shut up." Moments later he paused and clonked something below. Left-wing kibitzers in the studio audience? No, Buckley's target was his King Charles spaniel Rowley, which he had brought to the studio. Showing that he bore no ill will, Rowley then jumped into Buckley's .lap and planted a slurpy kiss on his cheek. All of which left Hentoff with somewhat more of an interview than...
...Voice (circ. 150,000) has earnestly chronicled the peculiarities of New York City life, its iconoclastic eye quick to spot problems of the underdog. Unremittingly quarrelsome, wordy and underedited, the Voice also captures the funky, ingrown perspective of Greenwich Village.

...Project X" team-as they were dubbed-worried about losing the story. Village Voice Writer Nat Hentoff had run an item about a "breakthrough" war story, and it was believed that the Washington Post was on to the Pentagon study. For seven weeks the team worked seven days a week, often past midnight; in all, some 30 Times staff members were eventually involved. Gold saw his family only five times during the period. Sheehan, who has a bad back, took daily walks in the beginning; but as deadline time neared, had even given up sleeping. The last push was provided...
