...Real Paper has proven, the steel and glass '70s, if not quite the winter of our discontent, are still no summer of love; as if to underline that point the lead feature in the first issue of Politicks delves into the enigmatic soul of Jerry Brown. It is a good piece: reporter Nancy Skelton thoroughly details Brown's backtracking in preparation for a run against Carter in 1980--the "era of limits" is now the "era of possibilities," E.F. Schumacher notwithstanding. It is one of the best of the pieces that have been written on the ex-Jesuit...
Like Casals, Slava is an unabashed romantic. Cradling his Strad between his legs?or, more precisely, embracing it?he seems to pour his Russian soul into every phrase, bowing long, singing lines with a subtle eloquence and a purity of tone. His technique is flawless. Modern composers lay finger-mangling minefields in the thickets of their pieces, but Rostropovich negotiates them with cheerful ease.

After an audience study last year by Belden and some in-house soul searching, the Miami News began to boil much of its copy down to short, brisk stories that could be read more easily by television viewers. Since then, News circulation has for the moment stopped falling, and advertising is up slightly...
...black-and-white stills of Theresa, the film relies heavily on crisp quips to furnish some badly needed levity to the story, and Brooks is not averse to using quick cutting from scene to scene to keep the action moving. One-liners like "Confession is good for the soul but it's bad for sex" are supposed to pass for slick dialogue, and they do succeed in eliciting the nervous chuckles, but the script seems to have been written with no higher purpose in mind than to keep the audience reasonably titillated. By devoting his energies to giving the film...
