...Stulberg achieved what he wanted by subtle proddings of the baton. The orchestra played better than it has in the last several years, and this at only the start of their season. If the Bach Society improves over the year, as it usually does, we should be hearing some superb music...
...venerable Fenway Park, the kind of irregular and intimate bandbox where baseball got its start, the return to basics was appropriate. Advance scouts for both clubs, who had been observing the opposition teams since July, reported few weaknesses. The Reds were stacked with powerful hitters, high-octane speed, superb defense and one of the best bullpens in the game. The Red Sox entered the Series with equally potent hitting, nearly flawless defense and a pitcher named Luis Tiant. The Cuban righthander, who claims to be 34 but is widely believed to be older, had won 76 games for Boston since...

...Ruling Class. The cliche "brilliantly uneven" might have been coined for this film. Too long and, finally, stupid, but some of the scenes are superb-the Marxist butler (stolen by Tom Stoppard for Travesties) and a skeletal, cobweb-bedecked House of Lords singing a rousing "Dem Bones Gonna Rise." Peter O'Toole plays a balmy earl who thinks he's Jesus Christ. The opening hanging scene and the parody of La Boheme are worth the price of admission...
