John Whitney exploits the wizardry of computer graphics in Arabesque to create an elegant essay in formal design. To the insistent rhythms of an electronic sitar, Whitney creates an Oriental kaleidoscope of pulsating colors and lines. Roll'em Lola, a product of Southern California's Department of Film Graphics is a fast-paced car chase through a liquified Peter Max landscape that keeps changing into the sinuous humps and valleys of an Ingres odalisque.

So reads the description of Elvis Presley at age 40 in The Rolling Stone Illustrated History of Rock & Roll. Rock musicians are stoned with praise and putdowns in this new anthology (Random House; $19.95). Elton John is called "a pudgy robot" who is "an object of pubescent sexual fantasy." Singer-Songwriter Joni Mitchell, writes Contributor Janet Maslin, did not recognize her "giddy romanticism" until she had recorded six albums. As for Janis Joplin, who died...
