...processional as "I Wanna Hold Your Hand." The two Beatle cantatas were both arranged by Joshua Rivkin; one became famous on the Elektra album "The Baroque Beatles Book," and the other premiered -- minus staging -- at Lincoln Center this summer. The second is a great piece of doggerel from "A Spaniard in the Works" in which Thomas Weber, as detective Shamrock Wombls, solves "The Singularge Experience of Miss Ann Duffield" and explains, "Harry Belafonte, my dear Whopper...
Chasing Butterflies. For a few professors, summer travel is nothing new. University of Chicago Philologist John Corominas, 61, has been roaming the Catalonia region of Spain since 1931, asking everyone from mayors to illiterate peasants about the names given to places. Dressed like an ordinary Spaniard, Corominas reads gravestones, checks into town and church records, and figures out Catalonian history from what he learns.

London's critics cast one look at the tasteless mayhem at the Old Vic and held their noses. Whereupon Osborne, 36, flipped his Angry Aging Man's lid, firing off telegrams to the London papers. Osborne declared an end to his "gentleman's agreement to ignore puny theater critics...
