...program began with Roberto Gerhard's Alegrias (a suite from the ballet Divertissement Flamencoco). It is tempting to dismiss this piece as one of the best warm-up exercises since Czerny, but that would not be entirely fair.

The war against white Africa will be fought, for the time being, with boycotts and propaganda, and through such limited guerrilla-type actions as Holden Roberto's in Angola.

Smarting from the recognition of his own innocence, still enchanted by the exuberant playboy, Roberto suddenly completes his metamorphosis from wonkdom. Heady with a taste of Bruno's freedom, he urges Bruno to drive on a winding mountain road at breakneck speed. And that's exactly what Bruno does. Roberto goes over the cliffe with the sports car. Bruno is tossed safely aside, just in the nick of time. As Bruno views Roberto's corpse, he is reminded of the value of friendship and human beings. And Roberto...
