...group's adventurous repertory also includes quartets by César Franck, Fauré, Sibelius, Borodin and Nielsen. Starting in July they will regularly perform the music of Mozart and Haydn on 18th century instruments. But it is in Shostakovich that the Fitzwilliam's reputation has justly been made. Whether negotiating the complexities of the late quartets, such as the tortured, defiant Twelfth, or inhabiting the sunnier climes of the Fourth and Sixth Quartets, the Fitzwilliam's performances were marked by a clear, unforced ensemble tone, individual virtuosity and an unfailing sensitivity to the music...

Meanwhile, Haig was not yet ready to give up his efforts to find a way out of a developing crisis between two nations both convinced they are right on a matter of honor and principle. - By John Nielsen.

Glance at the evening paper and you will not see a young couple walk through a "Japanese garden" filled with blank-faced nisei standing in planters. Raid the fridge and you will miss the visit Sergeant-Lieut. Frank Drebin (Leslie Nielsen) pays to a shoeshine wizard who knows everything about the Underworld-and about life after death, open-heart surgery and the fate of the Dodgers' pitching staff...
...mocks all social codes as shams that bind the will. When he steals Dona Elvira (Frances Conroy) from the convent to be his wife and then abandons her, he mocks vows made to God and to fidelity. He protests undying love and proffers marriage to two peasant girls (Kristine Nielsen and Hillary Bailey) merely as bait for the gullible. He mocks his fellow aristocrats by tripping them up in the niceties of codes of honor, and his aged father (John E. Straub) by an icy disdain for filial piety...
