...young Christopher plans to open a photography studio soon in New York. Both of Taylor's children are good-looking, both seem deliberately posed to provoke comparison with Beautiful Mama, yet neither has much sparkle. While this may be simply the fault of the portraits, it also seems to reflect an editorial theme of the magazine; a theme very evident as a succession of movie stars and bright men-and women-about-town are drawn into long and intimate discussions. The interviews are usually reprinted verbatim from tape transcripts, with even the point where side A ended and side...
...Rossner described a chilly, rather unpleasant woman, and Keaton's Theresa is likable and warm, especially in her relationship with her sister, played by Tuesday Weld. So questions arise.

The quintet is often said to reflect the composer's sunny, lyric disposition, and even the swift changes in tempo and sudden clouds of melancholy cannot dampen the work's high spirits. Both the Juilliard with Firkusny and the Cleveland with Ax are faithful to the Dvorak spirit. The older Juilliard brings a muscular exuberance...
