...sign any more pledge checks; one millionaire eliminated a fat bequest to the parish from his will. Undeterred, Alinsky publicly described the city's Negro area as a "zoo," got embroiled in an acrimonious argy-bargy with Board of Education President Homer Wadsworth, who declared: "Alinsky has the smell of the '30s about him." Retorted Alinsky: "We still have the smell of despair and oppression. Mr. Wadsworth smells nice. It's the smell of bankers and cologne." Whereupon Saul flew away to tend chores elsewhere, leaving Squire Lance, a militant Negro aide imported from Chicago, to scour...

Against a backdrop of gently swelling strings, he punctuates the action with a rippling organ (young love), a nervous twitter from a marimba (trouble in the streets), or perhaps the distant, breathy wailing of a girl's voice (ecstasy). One of his favorite instruments is the Hungarian cimbalom, which looks like the innards of a piano and sounds like an oversexed harpsichord. Rather than treat each scene with...
