...boss was a lynx-eared noise merchant by the name of Sidney Frey. Audiophiles alert for a vicarious thrill can hear awesome testimony to his demand for accuracy on a forthcoming Audio Fidelity album titled Sound Effects II. During his campaign in Brooklyn, Frey staged six crashes (by sending one wreck at the end of a tow rope hurtling into another), but the calculated carnage was a minor incident in his tireless pursuit of sound. Audio Fidelity's Frey, 40, has already trapped a hurricane (Donna), recommissioned an obsolete steam engine, provoked a Great Dane to vicious complaint, wooed...

Recently he reluctantly abandoned the sound of a belching baby for fear that it might offend potential customers, and he ruled out frying bacon and tooth brushing as not sufficiently dramatic.

...ghetto involved here is Chicago's black belt, where Scriptwriter Hansberry lived as a child. The hero (Sidney Poitier), his wife (Ruby Dee), his twelve-year-old son (Stephen Perry), his mother (Claudia McNeil) and his sister (Diana Sands) are all jammed together in three small rooms, toilet down the hall. Wife and mother do cleaning for white folks, sister is a pre-med student, hero drives a Cadillac for a downtown business executive-and hates it. At night he paces his low-rent prison and snarls at the walls: "I got to change my life...
