...many observers, that foray is the most peculiar yet for the former Minnesota Democratic Senator with the poet's mane of white hair and the cool wit. McCarthy's Washington headquarters currently has all of five staffers. National Campaign Director Jerry Eller, a former administrative assistant to McCarthy, allows as how his best workers in California are "Gary and Michelle ... um ... I don't know their last names. We don't use last names much around here ... and then we have, um, Mark and Randy in ... uh ... other states." Even after two earlier runs...
...Columbia and an album of his own transcriptions of Bach and Chopin. Last week's session with the National Philharmonic was devoted to Bizet's Carmen Suite. It is a work familiar to both conductor and orchestra, but still excitement ran high. Stokowski's fabled white mane is now a bit thin and shaggy, but the long, tapered hands still work their expressive magic. So does his pinpointing look. "One conducts with or without a baton," he likes to say, "but it is the eye that really does...

Pacific Overtures swallows them all like...

The only multidimensional character is Ivan, a role danced at the premiere by Yuri Vladimirov. An extraordinarily lithe actor with a frazzled mane and long simian arms, Vladimirov in his mad scenes looked oddly like a bemused orangutan who had suddenly been set loose from a zoo. That effect was heightened in the ballet's unintentionally ludicrous climax, when the paranoid Czar, hopelessly entangled among bell ropes, dangles above a crowd of foot-stomping peasants...
