...make alone. So Jovian Pornographer Henry Miller (Tropic of Capricorn) will take along a traveling companion-Jazz Singer Hoki Tokuda, 29, who met him at the pingpong table 18 months ago, and will become the fifth Mrs. Miller in time for the journey. Though he is sanguine enough about the marriage, Henry has the yips about his untutored abstract watercolors, which have taken up so much of his time in the past three years that he has stopped writing. "Wait till the French critics tear them apart," Miller moans. "They'll only forgive me because they love...
...captain's son, aground in a teaching job at Worcester Academy in 1908, when Robert E. Peary asked if he would like to join an Arctic expedition. Donald MacMillan not only went north that time-on the first successful journey to the Pole-but returned to the Arctic 35 times as leader of his own expeditions, mostly at the helm of his 80-ft. schooner Bowdoin, before he and his boat retired together in 1959. Author of several books, including the first Eskimo-English dictionary, MacMillan was a botanist and zoologist as well as the last of the dogsled...
Long Day's Journey. But this was only the beginning. Surrounding these events was a vast array of lesser-known Verdi-era artifacts that placed the standard fare in fascinating musical and historical perspective. Early risers attended taped Italian radio performances of such out-of-the-way operas from Verdi's journeyman days as Attila, The Corsair and Joan of Arc, in which the Maid dies not at the stake but on the battlefield. Later in the day, in one or another of the marble-and-crystal salons in Newport's stately mansions, the offerings included chamber...
...squeeze runs on down into the lower echelons. One high government official pulls out a document detailing the history of a pig between a Delta farm and a Saigon slaughterhouse. The farmer gets 6,800 piasters (about $57), and truck transport is another 400. But on the 50-mile journey, the pig has to pass through seven National Police checkpoints, established to guard against Viet Cong smuggling of weapons or other war supplies. Each checker exacts a little something-enough to increase the delivered price by another $12. Padding payrolls is a favorite device for profiteers. A pacification official...
...While Privilege only affects the style of a documentary, Don't Look Back really is one. When angry young Folk Singer Bob Dylan toured England in the spring of 1965, his entourage included a friendly spy in the person of Film Maker D. A. Pennebaker. Out of that journey, Pennebaker has created a 96-minute essay in cinematic truthtelling that may explain how the thin-voiced bard of the bedraggled became a subcultural prophet and a millionaire by combining the most resonant cliches of alienation and some not very distinguished music...
