Under Karajan's fiercely perfectionist leadership, the Berlin has been refined into an infinitely supple, responsive ensemble. At first cast in the uncompromising mold of Toscanini, Karajan, 74, drilled his orchestra until its virtuosity was unquestioned. Later Karajan moved toward Furtwangler's ideal of fluidity, and his music making took on a greater spaciousness. In works from Beethoven through Mahler, Karajan knows few peers, and no superiors. In honor of the orchestra's centenary, Deutsche Grammophon in September released a six-volume, 33-disc set of memorable recordings, tracing the Philharmonic from the Nikisch days through Karajan...
Weinstein recently put his stand-up act on display at an anti-draft rally near Memorial Hall. In between speeches and music, he came on and delivered a well-received series of one-liners in the Rodney Dangerfield mold.

Who would ever have supposed that the most immediately memorable show in New York City's SoHo, at the start of the 1982 art season, would be a gallery full of mock Stalinist socialist realism, done in the correct borsch-and-gravy colors of official Soviet art 30 years ago? But there is nothing that pluralism will not give us; and so it is with...
Evans, a transfer student from Columbia, ha plainly goiter plenty of kicks en route to establishing himself as the most unusual student government participant in recent years. Who else could say "I'd like to be a rating orator in the mold of a Martin Luther King or an Adolph Hitler?" And it is equally clear that his antics have caused a good deal of consternation among student government traditionalists, more accustomed to debating Robert's Rule of order than the merits of "King Trivia...
