...toward some measure of normality, pro-and anti-Mao factions in Canton last week continued to fight the battles of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution. Radio Canton warned that local party officials opposing Mao were "increasingly more cunning, insidious and vicious." The Maoist Southern Daily shrilled that the "crucial moment" was at hand in the clash between Canton's "two classes, two roads and two lines in the cultural revolution...

But in the U.S., uniforms are generally out in favor of the Frank Nitti gangster look, including palm tree-studded ties and double-breasted pinstripe jackets.

Adams knows how to save his performers' potential for the proper moment, and he is able to achieve the most striking dynamic effects without the least exaggeration or grotesquerie. He elicited a performance that was clear and enunciatorily precise even in the most complex fugal passages. He was also sensitive enough to maintain a continuous musical line and forward motion in spite of his deliberately slow pacing. Former math major or no, Adams is quite a musician. His Lacrymosa, even if most of the section is not Mozart's, was beatific...
