...PARTITAS (Columbia). Musical paleontologists are invariably scandalized by Glenn Gould's approach to Bach: he plays the sublime master with more love of the living than respect for the dead. Such inspired impishness occasionally leads him astray, but here his genius conspires with his artistry, matching a deep rapport with the spirit of the music with a lofty regard for the voice of the piano...
Next day, the President rode in a parade with the King, then went to the Afghan embassy for lunch. Even though there were a whole lot of things more pressing than U.S. relations with Afghanistan, he threw himself into the party, developed a nice social rapport with most everyone.

The poisoned rapiers are words, and they are wielded with lethal skill by the original cast: Arthur Hill, Uta Hagen, George Grizzard and Melinda Dillon. Those who wish to achieve a malignantly Woolfish rapport may duplicate the time scheme of the play by tinkling the ice cubes and spinning the disks, starting about 2:30 a.m. Match the cast drink for drink and watch the 5:30 dawn come up like anathema...
