...more. When she does add more lines her music seems to deteriorate. "Spring is Here" demonstrates her abilities on the dulcimer, but the line, "I know that God must be smilin" 'is just too much to hear nine times in a single song; it sounds like a mispronounced Hare Krishna chant. Both "Secret" and "Listen to Your Own Heart" are extended bitches with appropriately annoying bass rhythms that pound the songs into the ground.

...this mountain of cultural prejudice, Janet Barkas has planted The Vegetable Passion, a monomaniacal history of herbivores from Neanderthal man to the Hare Krishna people. Between her gargoyle book ends, this vegetarian convert presents a series of case histories. Each serves to dispel the notion that vegetable dieters are as alike as peas in a pod. Here is the early Christian theologian-and heretic-Origen, who castrated himself, and the American Benjamin Franklin, who did not.

...Newsweek. We look, shudder, and lament, and then run to make the last feature at the Brattle.

...Died. V.K. Krishna Menon, 77, virulently anti-Western former Indian Defense Minister and delegate to the United Nations; of an apparent heart attack; in New Delhi. Son of a wealthy lawyer, Menon was an ascetic, acerbic, anticolonialist firebrand who lived in London and agitated against British rule in India for 28 years until independence came in 1947.
