Like some Michelangelo who carves peach pits, or a Shakespeare whose medium is the haiku, Harmonica Virtuoso Larry Adler has found that there are grave drawbacks to being the best of a rare breed. His tongue-twisting technique and feathery phrasing have dazzled concert audiences for more than a quarter-century; but purists still dismiss his performances of classical music as gimmickry, akin to playing horn concertos on a length of garden hose. Now and then, such composers as Ralph Vaughan Williams and Darius Milhaud have written pieces for him, but the repertory for harmonica remains woefully thin; most...
...most elaborate welcome at the airport, including a 21-gun salute, a bigger limousine, a larger motorcycle escort. Television cameras zeroed in on him, and Roman crowds shouted, "Viva De Gaulle!"

So now, with each other for moral support, Italian Director Michelangelo Antonioni, 54, and British Actress Vanessa Redgrave, 30, she in sequined tunic and tights, braved a screening at Cannes of Blow-Up, in which Vanessa had taken a relatively small part simply because "I wanted to be directed by Antonioni." After the showing, Vanessa went home to London, but Antonioni stayed on for the happy ending: a Golden Palm applauding Blow...
