...room are used to display furniture. All is appropriate and sufficient, no more. Katayama takes van der Rohe's maxim "less is more" as his own--his aim is to parry and eliminate, always saying with the barest essentials more than would be said with much encumbrance and ornament. The beauty of his design is that he leaves the chairs to talk for themselves. In fact, he forces them to do so, by arranging them in groups by kind and occasionally setting off a masterpiece alone, like the bentwood and black-leather rocker that is number 36 (see photo...
Yale sophomore King Ohene-Frempong sent a hard corner kick across the goalmouth and junior Bob Arras headed it sharply inside the right post. Harvard goalie John Axten was reduced to an ornament as the Crimson backs allowed their third corner-kick goal in the last three games...
Considering the episodic quality of the film, Martin J. Kelley does remarkably well in the title role, but the other actors ornament rather than illuminate the proceedings.

Today's revived interest in baroque music has resulted in two new albums that aim at authenticity, each using a chorus of 40 or fewer and an orchestra of similar size. The soloists in both albums strive -with mixed success -to ornament their melodies in 18th century style. Robert Shaw (RCA Victor), conducting his own chorale and orchestra, shows how dramatic the scaled-down work can be; his version, with its furiously paced hallelujahs, is hard-hitting theater. The second new recording, by the London Symphony Orchestra and Choir conducted by Colin...
