...beauty of Olmi's firm lies in his suggestion that even this gray existence contains moments which justify the trumpets of his title--moments that make them more than the toy horn Domenico awkardly tweetles at the party, more than the imaginary bugles his mother must blow to wake him for work. In part they celebrate the quiet heroism required to endure the drabness of day to day experience. More important, they herald those unexpected appearances which break the stultifying regularity in which Domenico finds himself trapped; the possibility of love and the hope that love promises...
Breaking the Ice. The patriarchal palace is a dusty little compound near the lumberyards of old Stamboul, across the Golden Horn from modern Istanbul. There, Athenagoras rises at 7 for prayer, spends most of his days keeping up with a vast worldwide correspondence and seeing visitors, to whom he offers a tidbit of sickly sweet Turkish jam. Eager to prod Orthodoxy into a dialogue with other churches, Athenagoras looked forward to his meeting with the Pope. "The ice has been broken," said Athenagoras. "Soon a new era will begin in the history of Christendom...
...Kirstein who brought Balanchine to New York in 1933. As a wealthy young esthete at Harvard, he was a founder of the highbrow magazine Hound and Horn and Harvard's Society for Contemporary Art; but by the year of his graduation (1929), he had become a heartstruck balletomane.

...Horn Bull. A Uruguayan by birth, Frasconi worked as an illustrator and political cartoonist until he could get his "magic paper"-a scholarship to the Art Students League that brought him to the U.S. in 1945. Over the years after that, his clean-lined, brightly colored prints of California lettuce pickers and Fulton Market fish packers, plus his portraits of such literary figures as Bertolt Brecht and Sean O'Casey, won him a reputation as a wizard of the woodcut...
...Hollywood. But Doc stayed behind, bitten by those immediate theatrical laughs. Too security-minded to abandon TV, he went on writing for it-some 40 episodes of Sergeant Bilko, a year and a half with Garry Moore. But he used his nights and weekends to write Come Blow Your Horn. Then, with $250,000 rolling in from Hollywood for the movie rights to Blow Your Horn, Simon set himself up in a 57th Street office and began working a 71-hour day. He still does, commuting from his new and airy high-ceilinged apartment on Central Park West, where deliverymen...
