...from some Slavic Vesuvius." Interviewing Rostropovich's many friends and associates for our story on the new musical director of Washington's National Symphony Orchestra, eleven TIME correspondents in bureaus around the world found similar signs of lava, smoke and fire wherever Rostropovich has wandered. In Jerusalem, Isaac Stern talked to TIME'S Robert Slater about "the intensity, the sheer eruptive force behind Rostropovich's enthusiasm." In New York City, Reporter-Researcher Rosemarie Tauris Zadikov interviewed Leonard Bernstein, who recalled how Rostropovich first came to dinner a decade ago, bringing "records, tapes, scores and messages from...
...writer, his literary critics are just beginning their Golden Age, as shown by the quality of the critical essays just released under the appropriate title Arthur C. Clarke. The book is the third in a series of collected critiques on science fiction authors, which has arleady covered Isaac Asimov and Robert A. Heinlein; books on Ray Bradbury and Ursula K. LeGuin are in preparation. For all its amateur wordiness, the book reflects the vitality of this literary genre today.

Among the other performers who played or sang in his honor: Violinist Isaac Stern, Baritone Hermann Prey and Flutist Jean-Pierre Rampal. Chagall attended the concert as well as a nearby exhibition of his biblical paintings of the past decade. Said he: "To work with love in his heart is a painter's mission, to make the world better." Besides his artwork Chagall...
...expire in 1979, and the appointment of her successor may hint at the course that the department will chart in the 1980s. The alleged "Americo-centric" direction of Afro stands little chance of being reversed in two years, as the steady exodus of pan-Africanists like Isaac from Harvard and Afro shows few signs of stopping. The Afro offices at 77 Dunster will probably preserve the outward stability of the department for the foreseeable future, but that appearance remains a deceptive one, and conditions in Afro may once again wax turbulent if someone should decide to reopen one of those...
