...JAZZ PIANO (RCA Victor). Half a dozen pianists take the stage at the Pittsburgh Jazz Festival to give a fine, festive survey of their art. The course starts with Contrary Motion, played by Willie "The Lion" Smith, professor emeritus of the bouncing left-hand "stride" piano, which Duke Ellington gracefully imitates in his impressionistic Second Portrait of the Lion. Starting out ever so simply in Somehow, Earl "Fatha" Hines soon fills all the spaces with increasingly intricate trills and runs. Most emotionally eloquent of the lot, Mary Lou Williams plays 45° Angle and Joycie with declarative force and powerful...

In Philadelphia and Pittsburgh alone, the Democrat's homely, intense visage peers out from 180 buses and 400 taxis. Along highways from the Alleghenies to the Poconos, 1,200 bright orange Shapp billboards vie with the autumn foliage; 80 radio stations play his 30-and 60-second spots ("If you liked William Penn, you'll love Milton Shapp"). Local TV stations will carry at least 300 last-minute Shapp spiels; his workers are mailing a four-color...
