...deep into the eyes of settlers, cowboys. Indians, Westerners of all conditions. With sure irony, it demolished the legends perpetuated on endless TV westerns as it showed the fabled desperadoes as greasy punks, the heroic sheriffs as smalltime officeholders, and the beautiful dance-hall girls a lot uglier than sin. It recalled the West's real life as well as its real death; one memorable picture showed a corpse so riddled with bullets that it looked-making the Bat Masterson kind of tough talk come true-like a sieve. Ranging over more than 300 still pictures, the TV camera...

He made his Met debut only six years ago; since then, he has thrown his big bronze voice into 27 different Met roles-including King Phillip in Don Carlo, Fiesco in Simon Boccanegra, Padre Guardiano in La Forza del Destino-and in the process has become one of the world's great bassos...

...sin that presumably links these varied souls, sects and sentiments is worshiping the false god of self, modern man's craven idol. The ammunition that Author Fitch, 59. brings to the neo-orthodox,-neo-conservative battle camp is shiny with polemical wit and brilliance, but his essential targets have long since been peppered by profounder critics, among them Reinhold Niebuhr (The Nattire and Destiny of Man), Bernard Iddings Bell (Crowd Culture), José Ortega y Gasset (Revolt of the Masses'). He seems temperamentally torn between being a Christian critic and playing the Spenglerian doomsayer in tones that resemble...
