Behind the furor in Chicago is a combustible mix of race and economics that has left the city, like many other American cities, divided into separate black and white enclaves. A few blacks move in, the whites begin to panic, and within several years the white neighborhood has turned completely black. "Blockbusters" take advantage of the turnover by buying up houses cheaply from departing whites and reselling them at high prices to arriving blacks...
...niken and other writers like Gerhard R. Steinhauser (Jesus Christ: Heir to the Astronauts. Pocket Books. $1.75) are avidly exploiting age-old yearnings. As the schlock merchants of fiction science, they peddle an old cosmological recipe: simply ad astra, mix feverishly and half bake. Naturally, their theories are highly vulnerable to anyone who, like Ronald Story, takes the time to examine them...
With its sometimes strange mix of piety and commerce, the C.B.A. meeting is the central show of a big business that reflects the shift toward Evangelicalism throughout U.S. religion. The 2,100 C.B.A. stores, which emphasize Evangelical works, grossed $303 million last year and should reach $350 million to $375 million for 1976, estimates John Bass, 50, the able Presbyterian who runs the C.B.A. When Bass first began coming to the conventions, they were populated largely by folks in their 50s who ran dusty little Mom-and-Pop Bible stores. Religion bookshops nowadays are bigger, better located and reaching many...
Somehow, the wildly disparate mix in its 320 sq. mi. works out better than anyone has a right to expect. It has become a cliché to note that New York has more blacks (1,650,000) than Lagos, more Puerto Ricans (910,000) than San Juan, more Jews (1,230,000) than Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Haifa together, more Italians than Palermo, more Irish than Cork, along with Germans, Arabs, Chinese, Eastern Europeans and others. From spring to fall, New York resounds with different ethnic parades. Emigre Tibetans maintain an Office of Tibet on Second Avenue. Then there...
George Gershwin's Porgy and Bess -that wondrous mix of jazz, blues, gospel, Broadway and European romanticism-is a treasure that has been hoarded too long. Productions have been rare over the past two decades, and not all that frequent during Porgy's 41 years of life. Now there is a new version that is really worth seeing and hearing. Surprisingly, at least to those unattuned to the activities of General Director David Gockley, it comes from the Houston Grand Opera, where the show last week completed an eight-day run. With former American Ballet Theater President Sherwin...
