...made for television and television knew it. Said Steve Friedman, executive producer of NBC's Today show: "We have a beautiful princess, a royal wedding, a glorious sight, all overlaid with the threat of violence." To capture this perfect script, TV journalists plotted their coverage for months, haggling over camera position, importing tons of equipment, steeping correspondents in royal arcana...
...Cart Man uses few words, The Story of an English Village (Atheneurm; $7.95) is totally mute. Still, John S. Goodall's watercolors are eloquent enough to carry the progress of a British town from medieval beginnings to its present state. In other hands, the use of half pages overlaid on full ones might be a gimmick. But Goodall's visual narrative is so controlled, and his costumes and customs so accurate, that history assumes a personality. Moving by lively steps, it arranges hemlines and coats, advances from midwives to doctors, from town criers to village schools...
...nerve when the real dimensions of the psychological theme loom before him. Rummaging through the props closet of King of Hearts and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Tavernier merely dusts off a confusing collection of cliches.

...from the self-consciousness and media-play of Pop. They resemble, as the late Mark Rothko once said, "walk-in Hoppers," sculptural equivalents to the world of that American master, with its nocturnal bars and waiting figures. Segal's tableaux have a flavor of the '30s-overlaid, now and then, with a sharp erotic curiosity. Instead of the irony of a '60s Warhol or Lichtenstein, one is treated to an unremitting earnestness, a moral concern with the voids between people and the circumspectness of their gestures. It is a somber sight, this "populist...
...narrator, played his first solo directly after his A string snapped. His stint as narrator, singing "Captain Walker," "Amazing Journey" and "Sally Simpson" were all acceptable, if not spectacular. John Arimand, on electric and slide guitar played a solid lead throughout the show. As the pinball wizard he overlaid his own lead with a rendition of "Wizard" that was, fortunately the Daltry, not the Elton John interpretation. Chad Balch, on drums, had perhaps the hardest act to follow. After all, Keith Moon will stay dead an awfully long time. He, and the rest of the band, Al Halliday on keyboards...
