...intangibles from the guy who's waving a baton at them. If Kaplan at Salzburg did not bring to mind a slick stick like Riccardo Muti or Valery Gergiev, his intense, attentive manner in front of the Philharmonia, the Vienna State Opera Chorus, mezzo-soprano Doris Soffel and soprano Rosa Mannion bespoke a firm grasp. Mahler's heaven-storming climaxes shook the Grossesfestspielhaus to its granite foundations, and anyone who did not feel a chill at the tremendous peroration must either have been dead or Austrian...
Born in Santa Rosa, Calif., she lived in more than 20 locations before settling in Quincy. "I'm not working-class," Summer says. "My family is poor. We had $5,000 a year and under. It was public assistance...
...screenwriter, particularly of the script for Ben-Hur. This past year his obsession has grown like crabgrass. Your story on homosexuals in film and the documentary The Celluloid Closet [CINEMA, March 11] said that in Ben-Hur, "writer Vidal got actor Stephen Boyd to suggest, sub rosa, a homoerotic tryst with Heston."

Over three days, as recorded in my work journal, Vidal produced a three-page scene that director William Wyler rejected after Steve Boyd and I read...
...instant book, once the domain of hack publishers like Dove Books and disreputable semi-authors like Rosa Lopez, is taken to a new level of respectability with In the Name of Sorrow and Hope. Despite the rapidity of its printing (the epilogue is dated March 1996, and it was published on April 8) and its pamphlet length (180 undersized pages), the occasion on which this book seeks to capitalize is considerably more serious than the O.J. trial: it is the memoir of Yitzhak Rabin's granddaughter, the same one who spoke so movingly at his memorial service in November...
...Jesus Seminar said in its Santa Rosa, California, meeting, "Belief in the Resurrection of Jesus does not depend upon what may or may not have happened to his corpse." But your report noted that in the eyes of a Lutheran layman, the group "said the Resurrection of Jesus Christ was not essential to the faith; and that, in fact, the Resurrection may not have occurred at all." In my view, your readership is ill served by the inability to understand the difference between these statements. I find that most readers do grasp this distinction quite easily, and many appreciate...
