...performed last week, the 15-minute concerto (built around a simple theme from the old hymn He Leadeth Me!) proved to be an engaging and often witty piece, full of surprising melodic invention. It had a finely calculated balance of sound throughout, was notable for a mellow duet of drums and cellos in the second movement, and a satirical statement of the theme by four drums and orchestra in the third movement. Because Composer Parris used comparatively little bass, the music in certain spots gave the impression of a billowing cloud of strings floating aimlessly over the deep thunder...
...catchup, if that happens to be what they like. So said the University of Oklahoma's Dr. Stewart G. Wolf last week. Main thing, he told the American Academy of General Practice, is not to restrict what the ulcer patient eats but to do something positive about how often he eats-and that should be every two or three hours, counting the inevitable glass of milk.

On the way to an unexceptional ending, Author Ferber generously shares with the reader all her newfound, often interesting Alaskan lore-and when she raises her voice, it sounds as though she really cares...
This is a promising first novel that breaks a lot of its promises. It promises a richly informative account of voodoo and the Haitian mind and temper, but much of it is just tom-tommyrot. It promises distinction of thought, but a jungle growth of involuted sentences often chokes meaning in mannerism. It promises a clash between the life of instinct and the life-in-death of inhibition, but the conflict is reduced to a kind of nagging suburbanality about a dissatisfied wife. Still, the tropical scenery is far more fascinating than most suburbs...
