That sort of interchange is symptomatic of the Courier's gravest problem: most of its staff members are from the North, and they are white. One hope of early Courier staffers was that local talent could be recruited, trained, and finally put in command; at the starting pay of $25 per week the first step has proved rather difficult. While most of the Courier's office workers are Negro, only three of its salaried reporters are. The rest, including Editor Michael S. Lottman '62, former managing editor of the CRIMSON and reporter for the Chicago Daily News, are graduates...
Perhaps his finest talent was, in the words of a former Law School associate, "his very great sensitivity to the interrelation of political and military action." McNaughton waged a constant battle to keep military activity under control...
...CONCERTO IN D MAJOR (Melodiya-Angel). An extraordinary father-son act: David Oistrakh, 58, conducts the Moscow Philharmonic, while his son Igor, 35, fiddles. David, long considered one of the world's great violinists, now proves himself, after only five years on the podium, a conductor of major talent, while young Igor shows every indication of keeping the Oistrakh name in the annals of superior violinists. Together, they exploit every nuance in Tchaikovsky's eternally popular concerto, an exercise in wild conversation between the persistent, articulate voice of the violin and the rumbling, colorful orchestra...
...Tour was the most democratic of tyrants. Portraits of the King's daughters were never finished-in order to punish them for failing to keep appointments. La Tour once threatened to walk out of his studio when the King tried to watch him sketching la Pompadour. "My talent," he proudly maintained, "belongs to me." Nowhere was it better displayed than in his self-portraits, in which the illusion of reality is so strong, marveled one 18th century critic, that "it seems as though nature had painted itself." One of the three that survive, showing La Tour at his prime...
Finally, this is a marvelous cast. Stephen Kaplan is all that an Aristophanesean leading clown should be--self-important, close to the earth, and terribly funny. Tom Babe adds a great deal of skill to a natural talent for comedy, and Dan Deitch gracefully fills the none-too-easy assignment of playing a god who is also a heavy. The chorus, led by Susan Channing, is not, like most Greek choruses, self-conscious and uncomfortably out of place, but perfectly at ease as it stands around the stage reciting, or lounges in the front row of the auditorium. And Lloyd...
