Shadowy World. What makes Barry distinctive is his ability to project the mood of a film-"a certain smell that unifies," as he says-with offbeat instrumentation that titillates without distracting. Against a backdrop of gently swelling strings, he punctuates the action with a rippling organ (young love), a nervous twitter from a marimba (trouble in the streets), or perhaps the distant, breathy wailing of a girl's voice (ecstasy). One of his favorite instruments is the Hungarian cimbalom, which looks like the innards of a piano and sounds like an oversexed harpsichord. Rather than treat each scene with...

...trial earned her more than one scoop-besides bringing sharp criticism for the judge by a U.S. District Court when it heard Dr. Sam's appeal. Dorothy had the good journeyman's talent for catching accurate detail, as well as a sharp eye for the offbeat feature story on, say, an obscure trial witness. Whenever Hearst editors scented a big story, she was sure to get the assignment; she was on hand for Bruno Hauptmann's trial, F.D.R.'s first presidential campaign, Queen Elizabeth's coronation, Princess Margaret's marriage, Khrushchev...

Nowhere is the competition as keen as in New York City, which boasts more (111), and more diverse, private schools than any other city in the country. The rigidly classical Lycée Francais has a curriculum similar to the one used in French schools, while the offbeat Rudolf Steiner School is based on anthroposophical principles. Progressive Dalton gives no marks, teaches anthropology and playwriting to upperclassmen, while prim, socially prominent Hewitt rules that students cannot attend "parties, moving pictures or the theater" on school nights...
