...less so. Among the most intriguing is from Not Love Alone, an opera about the love life on a collective farm by Rodion Shchedrin. The youngest composer represented on the album (and husband of Prima Ballerina Maya Plisetskaya), Shchedrin finds room for originality within conventional Soviet Realism-which means late, late, late Romanticism. However superficial, his melodies are refreshingly singable. Mezzo-Soprano Arkhipova renders all with intelligence and virtuosity...
...exulted Director of Collections Alfred H. Barr Jr. After months of negotiations, the museum landed 100 works by 54 20th century painters and sculptors from the private collection of New York Dealer Sidney Janis, 70, a Buffalo-born former shirt manufacturer who began collecting contemporary art in the late '20s, opened his quick-stepping, publicity-prone Manhattan gallery in 1948. The collection, valued at upwards of $2,000,000, has everything from Picasso and a $50,000 Mondrian, which Janis bought from the artist in the '30s for $70, to sculptures of Janis himself by Pop Dollmaker Marisol...
...Potpourri. The crew aboard the Airplane is in their middle and late 20s. Musically, they represent a kind of pop potpourri: Balin and Kantner are refugees from folk music, Drummer Spencer Dryden and Guitarist Jack Casady from jazz, Singers Jorma Kaukonen from blues and Grace Slick from pop.

...days of TV, the Late Show was really late-decades, in fact. Before 1961, most pictures seen on TV had been made during World War II or before; the freshest was eleven years old. Now the networks are running out of the oldies and are buying newer films at a higher price; the living room is competing more and more with the "nabe" (neighborhood movie house). This fall, for example, the networks will be programming features that premiered just last year. Among the newer attractions for home screens next season: Tom Jones, The World of Henry Orient, The Yellow Rolls...
...could have been a scene from the late '30s, when Goodman's cheerfully crisp, driving style made him the King of Swing and started a new era in American music. Actually, it was Goodman's opening night last week at Manhattan's Rainbow Grill, high in the 70-story RCA Building. Typical of his sentimental sojourns into jazz in recent years, it created a momentary illusion that nothing much had changed. The dancers were mostly of the generation that grew up with him back when cats were hep instead of hip. The tunes were such period...
