Even Gaullists attacked the Paris council's measure. Said former Agriculture Minister Paul Antier, who has formed a Committee for the Defense of the Etoile: "When Winston Churchill died, there was no great rush to rename Trafalgar Square. Napoleon wasn't exactly a nobody either, and he only has a small Rue Bonaparte in the Seventh Arrondissement." There were many who doubted that De Gaulle would have wanted anything of the sort. Said Le Monde: "Nothing would be more contrary to his last wishes than de-baptizing the most famous square in Paris, if not in Europe...
...problems with the performance, however. Wright had some slight mechanical problem with his instrument from the second movement on, which forced him to reduce the dynamic level of the performance somewhat. The notes from G through B' emerged sounding a bit strained. Schneider, who has a tendency to rush into the beginning of a movement, and then gradually slow down, caught Wright off guard at the beginning of the third movement and was forced to start over. But these were minor annoyances, not major defects. In fact, the Philharmonia's performance of the Concerto was at least as good...
Disaster strikes so frequently nowadays that films like Elvis and Woodstock alone seem able to withstand the rush of events. A few years ago, Monterey Pop was an equally annoying achievement-full of interminable concentration on the Mamas and the Papas (John Phillips was in on its financing) and packed with a lollipop and roses view of life. But, ironically, due to the deaths of Redding, Hendrix, and Joplin, all of whom appear in the film, it is now, for all its flaws as a film, one of the few permanent memories of their work we have...
COLUMBIA-BROWN: The ultimate in thrillers, from the city that gave you the 4 p. m. rush hour in the Holland Tunnel. If the Columbia-Penn game was King Kong, then this is Son of King Kong during paper training. But this is a fitting climax to Brown's season; a win today means seventh place, and a loss means sole possession of the cellar-a tough choice. The Bruins have blown the last two games in the final minutes, but they'll blow this one earlier...
Crone will not have too much time to drop back and look for his free receivers, however. Yale's pass rush has dumped opposing quarterbacks six times in the last two games for minus 49 yards. Crone has shown a tendency to take a lot of time looking for receivers, which is effective against the Brown pass rush, but suicidal against the Yale rush. Screen passes have been useless in trying to slow down the rush as the Elis nailed three screens for no gain in the last two games...
