...strengths and style of Stevie Winwood to emerge. Winwood, who sings the part of Kurata and also plays guitar, piano and organ, puts in an impressive performance. His childlike yet soulful vocals are at their finest in "Ghost Machine," a fast-paced number based loosely on an Afro-Cuban rhythmic pattern with an aggressive rock beat, and on "Winner/Loser" which is in fact a Winwood composition--his only score among the 14 songs which make up the album...
...after finishing four years as an undergraduate, he entered the GSAS, transferred to the Yale School of Drama where he received his MFA, and received a Ph.D at the Union Graduate School. Not one of the average Cambridge "street people" by any means. Blue's finger-popping, foot-stomping, rhythmic theater has been presented not only in the open air of Harvard Square, but also at his storytelling workshop at the Divinity School...
Finally, last week began the Dhukor Wangchen (the sermon of the Wheel of Time), one of Buddhism's most elaborate rituals. For each of three days, the air exploded with the bellowing of conch shells and rhythmic prayer chants.

A good example is Gauguin's portrait of the painter Roy, 1889, with its serpentine forms of background and hair (see color page...
After his speech, Ford motioned to his vanquished foe in the guest galleries to join him and Betty on the podium. When Reagan and Nancy had entered the hall earlier to a resounding ovation, there were rhythmic cries of "Speech! Speech! Speech!" Invited to the podium by Chairman Rhodes, Reagan initially declined. "This is someone else's night," he said to friends. But now he responded to Ford's beckoning. As he moved through the packed arena with Nancy, then took the microphone at Ford's bidding, the eyes of many delegates shimmered with tears...
