...Freshman picnic, Radcliffe Quad. This is a real splendid opportunity to see where some freshmen used to live, but not any more. It's also a good time to meet people, because tons of them will be milling around, looking for others to meet. But avoid the food, which is a harbinger of a long year at the Union. Eat at Elsie's, the sandwich joint par excellence, on Mt. Buburn Street, instead...
Jacobson's new training school is called Sub-Sea, Inc. His course runs two days, costs $150, begins with instruction in his home, where the student studies the S 250 on paper and is likely to be plied with splendid zucchini bread and coffee by Jacobson's wife, Georgia May, a schoolteacher at Warwick's Gorton Junior High School. On paper, operating the sub seems, well, child's play. Merely a matter of opening a few valves to let water into the ballast tanks until the S 250 has achieved "neutral buoyancy," then directing the thrust...
...Francocentric version of art history, so that-especially for those born between 1930 and 1945- there were relatively few vivid images of a civilized "modernist" Germany to set against the overwhelming iconography of Nazi terror. Now this is changing. "Paris-Berlin" comes hard on the heels of a splendid group of exhibitions mounted in Berlin last fall by the Council of Europe under the general title "Trends of the '20s." They focused on German Dada, on the Bauhaus and its circle, and on international constructivism. "Paris-Berlin" overlaps the earlier shows in those areas; many of the "classics...
...true star performance-from John Belushi. This Saturday Night Live regular, here making his big-screen debut, may be the funniest fat comic actor since Jackie Gleason. Ill-shaven and semicomatose, Belushi plays the mangiest animal of them all. He does not have many lines, but he is splendid at starting food fights and leading his fraternity brothers in drunken choruses of Louie Louie...
Soviet critics praised Rosen's "splendid technique and beautiful full sound." Principal cellist with the Pittsburgh Symphony under André Previn, Rosen was elated by his second-time-around victory. "Before, I was examining the style of others," he said. "This time, I was much more intense, concentrated." He began playing the cello at six when his father, an amateur violist, and his mother, a pianist, started their son practicing in hopes of gaming an addition to their family chamber group. At 13, he made his debut with a symphony orchestra in Redlands, Calif., and began studying with Cellist...
