SURPRISE is an essential element in Cunningham's compositions. He switches wildly from movement to movement, from mood to mood, never employing the traditional ABA structure that every beginning choreographer is taught to respect. The result is a fragmented, elusive kind of brilliance which is in great part due to the unusual richness of Cunningham's choreographic vocabulary. So, in his solo, "Collage III," Cunningham lightly explodes from one motion to the next. There are no echoes in the dance. He sculpts random and beautiful moods in the air. For some the experience is wonderful...

...often put the blame on the police rather than on more fundamental things that are responsible for the police action--action which is often, in the existential moment, absolutely necessary.

War is an effect, not a cause, of suffering, Jarvis told me. In order to assure peace, the level of personal tension in the world must be lowered. "Maharishi can remove the tension," said Jarvis. "He says if 10 per cent of the world meditates, the world will enter a golden...

Albert Gelpi, assistant professor of English, contributes a chapter from his upcoming book on American poetry--a significant essay which discusses Edgar Allan Poe with a sensitivity and respect that he rarely receives. Authoritatively documented but still highly readable and clear, Gelpi's writing carries the same enthusiastic conviction that characterizes his English lectures. At times he risks oversimplification for the sake of a point, as when he dismisses Emerson's ambiguity in the ending of "Uriel" as untypical. Nevertheless, the essay delineates the fundamental esthetic polarity (between Poe's and Emerson's poetics) through which Gelpi approaches all American...
