When the great naturalist John Muir wrote those idealistic lines in 1898, the nation's parks and forests were peaceful retreats where a visitor from the city might not encounter anything more ominous than the mournful moans of a lovesick moose. No more. Today Muir's pristine wilderness is becoming increasingly dangerous. Not because of any natural menace, but because of human malevolence. In almost all national parks and forests, crime is rising sharply, especially the violent kind...
...financial, emotional-that would not seem particularly exotic in most neighborhoods. While the stars' typical romantic lives are a matter of overheated legend, the actual events of their marital and extramarital flights are as trite as Everyperson's. Even Mae West managed to sound like an average lovesick adolescent when she attested to the uniqueness of the feeling between her and one of her numerous musclemen: "... a love so complete that it embraced not only our bodies but our minds and spirits-a perfect union of the mental, physical and spiritual...
...love with E.M., a lovely young actress, and, shades of old Jung, she is his patient! D.M. calls on me for advice from time to time -a bit of effrontery I would normally rebuff if it were not that the whole affair is just for a movie called Lovesick due out next year. Dudley Moore, 47, is the analyst and Elizabeth McGovern, 20, is a delightful choice as his patient. Sir Alec Guinness, 68, is playing me. Since childhood, I have always dreamed of Redford or Newman in, the part, but who am I to analyze a producer...
...recent Pennsylvania Opera Theater production of Orlando Paladino, a work that alternates buffa elements with more serious moments, showed the best reason for giving Haydn's operas a hearing: their scores. To the lovesick knight Orlando (Tenor John Gilmore), crazed by a passion for Angelica, the Queen of Cathay, Haydn gave a stirring entrance that suggests the depths of the mad paladin's emotion. On Angelica (Soprano Randi Marrazzo), he lavished arias in each act that shimmer with dazzling coloratura and touching pathos. And for the finale, he composed a high-spirited, catchy septet that reconciles the conflicting...
...clown becomes Frank Sinatra, leaning on the plano with a drink, entertaining the nobility but keeping his distance. James Goldstein as Orsino, the duke who pines for the love of Olivia (Gaye Williams), is a Casablanca Bogart, white dinner jacket and all. The allusion makes his slow transition to lovesick goon particularly hilarious when he takes to staring soulfully into space, smoking cigarettes from a gold case and obliviously blowing clouds of smoke into the face of Viola (Caroline Isenberg), who, from under her disguise as his servant, gazes just as wistfully...
