...evidence, consider the Kronos concert at Manhattan's Alice Tully Hall last month. It was a multimedia program, arranged by the avant-garde Italian stage designer Alessandro Moruzzi, titled "Assembly Required." Dressed in unisex costumes of jet-black shirts and slacks, the four musicians walked onto a stage jumbled with speakers, tape equipment and an assortment of lights and mechanical gears. Before each of the scheduled four works, played without intermission, the Kronos members, in stately, choreographed movements, placed the lights and objects to cast different shadow forms on four screens set up behind their chairs.

This is a face-off between two men in weird masks: one in a leathery black item out of a dominatrix's pleasure chest, the other with a grin frozen into a rictus...

"The European chef there was miserable and kept saying that women had no strength, no stamina and no concentration," says Rosenzweig, who went on to become the controversial vice chairman at Manhattan's exclusive "21" Club, as well as chef-partner at her own New York City restaurant, Arcadia. Overprotectiveness, not abuse, was what almost undermined Leslie Revsin, a chef at the Barbizon Hotel in Manhattan. She recalls that men rushed to help her with any heavy task, even when she didn...
