He was not as cosmopolitan as his great rival Arthur Rubinstein, nor would he ever fool anybody into thinking he was Artur Schnabel, the apostle of German-style ''depth.'' The Columbia disks, all solo, are rife with puckish renditions of Scarlatti sonatas and Schubert impromptus that sometimes verge on eccentricity, and of Beethoven sonatas and Schumann fantasies that often threaten to collapse beneath their own structural weight.

Then, there are the activists of the Mafia Unmoolan Samiti, which is raising its voice against organized crime; the Rashtriya Viklang Party, which works for rights for disabled persons and has been here for years; and solo protester Ramdev Kumar from Seemapur, who claims his wife left him for someone else and his brother usurped his house.
