...wedding. And what a Jewish wedding it was. A trumpet blast, and the 55 guests climbed to their seats on a hillside overlooking San Francisco Bay near the home of Bride Daria Halprim, who starred in Zabriskie Point. The music began as a composition for synthesizer, ram's horn, flute, and a Yemenite trumpet recorded especially for the wedding. Then, to the melody of a flute song, Daria, in a purple velvet Navajo dress, walked to the bridal canopy designed by her father, Landscape Architect Lawrence Halprin. After the ceremonial crushing of the wineglass under Hopper's foot...
...London's Royal College of Art when his work began to attract notice in 1962. In the decade since then he has remained one of the most conspicuous figures in the English art world. The Clairol-bleached thatch, the Yorkshire accent and the owl-like stare through horn-rims the size of old Bentley headlights have become almost as much a part of the London myth as Twiggy. But a serious painter lurks behind the ruffle of publicity, and Hockney's new show, at New York's André Emmerich Gallery, demonstrates how wiry and controlled...
...remedy actual trouble, each teacher, administrator and employee now carries a pencil-size ultrasonic transmitter.

Charles has to romp about the estate in knickers, but takes some solace in sculpting huge, brooding Olympian figures. Helene is something of a stiff, a quality convincingly conveyed by Miss Jobert, who shuffles through the film...
...things any easier for Gentele than he has to. Before Gentele arrived, Bing scheduled the Met's creaking, embarrassingly shabby production of Wagner's Tannhauser for Gentele's first opening night next September. Gentele quickly changed that: it will be a brand-new Carmen starring Marilyn Horn, with Leonard Bernstein conducting and Gentele himself directing. Bing also spent a probable $700,000 on his swan song, last March's new and spectacularly good production (by Franco Zeffirelli) of Verdi's Otello, when the nine-year-old and commensurately splendid Eugene Berman production was in perfectly...
