...maximal effort into their parts. Particularly noteworthy are Johanna Defenderfer and Eva Simmons as Stephano and Trinculo, a pair of fear-stricken, drunken and very funny sailors. Ralph Zito turns in a macho, manic performance as Ariel, the spirit forced to do Prospero's blading. Joe White, as Sebastian, gets off some well-delivered lines, and Paul Rosta is a perfectly doddering, if one-dimensional, old fool as Gonzalo. The rest of the sailors and nobles are adequate, as is the troupe of harpies who pop up sporadically and deliver the most effective mime in the production...
...seventh novel is familiar in other ways. The setting is Ireland, scene of the author's most exuberant and successful prose. Reginald Darcy Thormond Dancer Kildare is not another Sebastian Dangerfield, the irrepressible Ginger Man, but one of Donleavy's sensitive young souls. His mother dies when Darcy is young and the lad inherits Andromeda Park, a venerable estate that has seen better days and will see worse. Darcy's absentee father lunges at the inheritance, making his son's life miserable. Sure and it is a long, crowded road that Darcy must travel before...
...heard orchestral sounds never made before-and proceeded to make them. "Music appeals to me for what can be done with it," Leopold Stokowski once remarked.

Bach was the field marshal of the concerto form, regimenting the fluid lines of such Italian masters as Vivaldi and Corelli into complex string masterpieces. Szeryng, the Polish-born virtuoso, and Second Fiddle Hasson demonstrate great authority within Bach's polyphonic ranks. Their counterpoint in the double concerto is superb, as is the accompaniment led throughout by Neville Marriner...
...splashed around for the fun of it. A few continued to go through the test exercises, getting in some additional practice for the final 1977 water test next month outside Detroit. Elaine Lehr, a Mount Holly, N.J., breeder who spends an hour a day training her handsome Landseer Newfoundland, Sebastian, explained the sport's appeal: "Newfoundlands are smart with sweet dispositions. Training them isn't work. Besides, they are among the few dogs you can train to do something that still has a place in this world. As long as people swim, there will...
