...principals-Ed McCabe and Marvin Sloves-pitch for Volvo and have brought the brand name to the poultry business with fabulously successful ads for Perdue chickens. They feature a squeaky-voiced Frank Perdue telling consumers with mock solemnity that it "takes a tough man to make a tender chicken" and insisting that his birds are more pampered than the people who eat them...
...Brahms sonatas for violin and piano. This recording was made during a 1972 Moscow recital, 2½ years before the death of the great Soviet violinist. With loving attention to detail, at times unexpectedly puckish. Richter traced each phrase. No question, however, the show belonged to Oistrakh.

The painting is drenched in idealized wistfulness, even to the title, taken from Baudelaire's L 'Invitation au voyage: "There, all is order and beauty/Luxury, calm and sensuous pleasure." No effort can restore its lost shock value, and this, in a different way, is true of the Derain as well. Today we luxuriate in its weighty design and audacious color...
