...laboring in total concentration to draw from their instruments the warm, expressive voices that exemplify the string quartet. They moved quickly through the music, sel dom speaking, marking cues in their scores, skipping past the easy to bear down on the difficult. Then, with only a brief break to relax from the tension of the severe rehearsal, the Juilliard String Quartet strode to center stage at the Tanglewood Theater-Concert Hall last week, greeted a rapt audience with deep bows, and presented a program of contemporary chamber music played with a unity of excellence that is matchless in the world...

Jimmy's mother used to be a terrible backseat driver until, in a fit of filial exasperation, he took her around a corner flat-out just to show that everything was under control.

They should relax, says Richard Hofstadter, a practicing intellectual himself and a Columbia University historian (The American Political Tradition, The Age of Reform). "Men do not rise in the morning, grin at themselves in their mirrors, and say: 'Ah, today I shall torment an intellectual and strangle an idea!'
