Unlike Wilson, a clever, sharp-tongued and very partisan politician, Heath usually arouses little more than yawns. The conservative squirearchy, which still dominates much of Tory politics, is not particularly delighted that their leader is a Kentish carpenter's son who got through Balliol College on an organ scholarship. Nor does Heath's modest background win him friends in working-class districts-not when the single, silver-haired politician is known to be devoted to music and a 34-ft. sloop he races with public-school friends...
...years worth of space and sports, of fads and fashions, of transportation and transplantation, of involvement and integration, of race and riot, and of politics, pot, poverty, pollution and the Pill. This super documentary was intriguing both in what it said and how it was said.

Rather it is soap opera, a sort of superserial in which the lovable characters are sometimes handled with such consummate affection by the author, with such descriptive refinement of feeling that it approaches art. Of course, there are those organ-tone poems about the seasons. Characters inexplicably appear and just as inexplicably disappear. Chapter after chapter goes absolutely nowhere. But the reader gets hooked nevertheless...
...proceedings with disciplined and evocative efforts on behalf of composers ranging from Bach to Hans Brehme. The winner was a Russian, Valeri Petrov. His two runners-up: Fellow Countryman Anatole Senin, who alternately coaxed from his instrument both the organlike richness and wintry delicacy necessary for Bach's organ Concerto in A-Minor, and American Pam Barker, who survived the technical terrors of Khatchaturian's Piano Concerto with impressive calm...
