...Spiegel give its cover and ten inside pages to such an irascible foe? The answer is as plain as the chip on Der Spiegel's shoulder. Like last week's guest, Der Spiegel rejoices in the immoderate attack, has soared to success partly on the objective of calculated, fight-picking, journalistic cussedness. "Our formula," said Chief Editor Hans Detlev Becker, explaining Der Spiegel's Q-and-A interview policy, "is deliberately aggressive. We want to provoke a clash of opinions." Der Spiegel got what it wanted: angry letters from 200 readers...
...unearthing little-known works of the 18th century. Last season Jenkins launched a series of what he called Clarion Concerts at which he presented the fruits of a dusty three-year search through the libraries and conservatories of Europe. To Jenkins' own surprise, Clarion Concerts was a rousing success at the box office. Before Jenkins gets through, his subscription audience will have encountered such obscure 18th century composers as Franz Anton Rossler, The Chevalier de Saint-George and Francesco Antonio Bonporti.

Cool Bucks. Despite Holiday's success, one production official complains that "putting on this show in India has been more frustrating than in any other country we've ever been in."

"You dream all your life of being famous," she told New York Herald Tribune Reporter Joe Hyams, "because you think it will solve all your problems. What happens is you meet a lot of fascinating men, as you hoped you would, but just as many of them are married as the dull men you knew when you were obscure...
Butter on Turkey. Sixteen years ago, when she was 19, Beverly Pepper was art director of Decca Records Inc. and a fast-rising, horn-rimmed spectacle of success. At 25 she was vice president of a booming advertising agency. Then instinct, and a couple of psychoanalysts, told her to quit while she was ahead. She left for Paris with 32 hats in her luggage, bought blue jeans on Montparnasse and threw the hats away. Last week she was back in Manhattan for an exhibition at the Barone Gallery, which brought close...
