...nearly. This is also a brand-new day, and a whole new generation. For a great many members of this crowd-perhaps most -this wonderful, wistful ballad recalls a time they never knew. Beatles are legend. McCartney, 33, is here, right now, in barnstorming triumph, making his first concert tour of the States since he and his three noted mates sang their last song together at San Francisco's Candlestick Park in the late summer of 1966. McCartney still draws many of the Beatles faithful, to be sure. He has also found a whole new audience, his audience. They...
...musings of Jeffrey Walker about the Orestiaen legend and American tyrants in "After-Dinner Reading." There are reactions to Harvard, to lovers, to grandmothers, to the question "what's hapnin." There are two tightly-constructed and vivid short stories, as well as an eloquent review of James Baldwin's If Beale Street Could Talk.

Of the early rock generation, the Stones alone have survived the years with such prominence, confidence, and success. But the mythic Superstar days of the Stones are over, and instead they seem to be victims of their own stardom. The release of each new Rolling Stones album generates waves of anticipation and excitement but it's clear there is no way they will live up to the glorified memories of days gone by. The Stones, especially Mick...
...Edinburgh in the train of Mary Queen of Scots. Nondescript caddy yards seem unlikely vessels of tradition for a game whose aristocratic origins date back to the reign of King Charles I. Charles received the news of the Irish Rebellion while playing a round at Leith, but the legend of Hagen's verve and reckless gamesmanship has managed to bridge the years and has found its way to Bartlett. Although Hagen died in 1969, slumped in the corner of Rochester's ramshackle caddy pen sits a greybeard who Bartlett says "used to caddy for Hagen in his heyday...
