...unrest prompted some serious soul searching in Washington. President Reagan is expected to stop in the Philippines during a five-nation swing through East Asia now scheduled for Nov. 2 to Nov. 16. The chaotic aftermath of Aquino's death, however, has raised questions about Reagan's personal safety during the visit, and about the political wisdom of appearing to endorse the faltering and increasingly unpopular Marcos. White House planners canceled the outdoor events on the President's proposed agenda in the Philippines, and they also reduced the duration of his visit from two nights...
...played only on 18th century instruments is based on a faulty assumption: that there are two homogeneous and isolated categories of musical instruments, period and modern. Instruments have always changed because musicians want the best ones they can find. This constant search for refinement is part of the innermost soul of living music...
...Yellow Rose (NBC, Saturdays, 10 p.m.). That old patriarch Wade Champion, he sired more boys than Ibn Saud put together: Roy (David Soul), who runs the Yellow Rose ranch; Quisto (Edward Albert), who wants to put oil derricks on the grazing land; and now Chance (Sam Elliott), fresh from a seven-year stretch for murder one. The women, too, can be hard as a Texas dirt road and twice as dangerous: Grace McKenzie (a sizzling Susan Anspach), the cook, serves up more than biscuits, and Colleen Champion (a restored Cybill Shepherd) looks ready to make trouble with every male...
...scant heed to the instrument with which in a matter of weeks he will find more intimate acquaintance. On this same grim morning in the winter of 1793-94, Maximilien Robespierre, whose health (and humanity) has been virtually consumed by the revolutionary fever that has burned within his puritanical soul for a lifetime, reluctantly awakens. He knows that with the return to Paris of Danton, once a colleague in revolution-now his mortal enemy-he must begin his final struggle, not just for power in the new, terror-ridden French Republic, but for posterity's good regard as well...
...Danton is cursed by unconsciousness, then Robespierre, played with icy power by Wajda's fellow Pole, Wojciech Pszoniak, is cursed by consciousness. He knows what he is destroying when he destroys Danton: passion and humanity, the soul of his revolution. But he cannot abandon his purity any more than Danton can abandon his passions. In ordering his rival's death, he knows he is ordering his own; henceforth all mistakes must inevitably be deadly ones, since not even he can live up to the standards of rectitude established in Danton's trial...
