...Olympics, has been coaching the Crimson's freshmen for 15 years, and shows a technical expertise to match his experience. His training program parallels head Coach Parker's: an emphasis on long-distance endurance sessions during the fall and winter, with an increasing amount of short but hard rowing during the spring. Oarsmen work out in a variety of winter exercises: in addition to running and weightlifting, they row inside "the tanks" against mechanically generated currents, pull against the weighted flywheel of a rowing machine and sprint up and down the steps of Harvard Stadium. Such rigorous training has produced...
There were three concerts, all televised nationally. At the first, there was a row of armchairs with snowy antimacassars and little tables set for tea. The occupants turned out to be top members of the Chinese Establishment: Vice Premier Deng Xiaoping (Teng Hsiao-p'ing), Foreign Minister Huang Hua, Vice Premier Fang Yi and Mme. Sun Yatsen, who is in her late 80s. During the intermission, Deng held a reception at which he said in effect that he did not know much about music but he knew what he liked: anything that promoted friendship. After the concert...
...Princeton's record still stands. The Tigers have been national champs for three years in a row now, and that's an abnormally long drought for the Crimson. It wasn't so long ago that Hemenway was the Valhalla of squash, but it has recently become its Mudville. So why is it that for the third year in a row the Mighty Crimson has struck...
...outsiders, broadcasting has always looked a little crazy. But this year it really is crazy, and the February sweeps have blown down Network Row like Hurricane Agnes. Robert Wood, a former CBS president turned producer (The Cheap Show), refers to them as "the goddamn sweeps." He complains that "there shouldn't be such weeks in the TV calendar. They are artificial and destructive, and they contribute to the general feeling of paranoia." Like most other pernicious institutions, the sweeps still perform a function. Using two relatively small samples, Nielsen keeps regular tabs on how well the networks are doing...
Certainly no composer more closely tied each note to an onstage gesture, nor spun out a more painstakingly detailed and significant structure. It is a miraculous kind of mathematical puzzle. The whole of Lulu is based on a single twelve-tone row, which is Lulu's theme. All of the opera's other themes, accompaniments and leitmotifs are derived from endlessly ingenious extrapolations, inversions, retrogrades and other variations of the original row. These in turn are rigorously organized in a series of traditional forms. There is an extensive sonata structure in Lulu's scenes with...
