...should never be so concerned about anything that we stop caring for each other," Atlanta Mayor Andrew Young declared last week. That pastoral attitude, says Young, was the reason for his March 25 telephone call to the estranged wife of his friend and political colleague Julian Bond, cautioning her about allegations of cocaine use she was making to the police. Those charges implicated Bond, Young and other prominent Atlantans. (She later retracted the charges, which were denied by both Young and Bond.) A grand jury took up the case...
...arranging and reworking music for other instruments. "The composer has to work through me," he said. Indefatigable, he practiced five hours a day and even in his 90s was still playing up to 60 concerts a year around the world. He was also a tireless teacher whose students included Julian Bream. This, in fact, may prove to be his most enduring legacy; once scorned by academia, classical-guitar study is now offered by some 1,600 schools of music in the U.S. "Segovia's guitar does not sound loud," Composer Igor Stravinsky once observed, "but it sounds...

The call was placed six days after she told Atlanta police that her husband had been a regular user of cocaine and that she had once seen the mayor use coke...
...years in the academy, I've never seen a member who felt it necessary to start such a public fracas." Since winning a postponement of Huntington's initial 1986 nomination, Lang has fired off three anti-Huntington mailings to the full membership. "Just imagine," says NAS Member Julian Wolpert, professor of geography at Princeton's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, "if we could get all that letter- writing energy into a campaign against Gaddafi, say, or for human rights. I wish he'd pick his causes better...
