...most promising new Supergroup so far is an English foursome called Blind Faith. Its members: Singer-Pianist-Guitarist Stevie Winwood, 21, formerly of Traffic; Bassist-Electric Violinist Rick Grech, 23, from Family; Guitarist Eric Clapton, 24, and Drummer Ginger Baker, 30, who were two-thirds of the rock trio called Cream, which broke up last fall. Despite the heavy dose of Cream in its makeup, Blind Faith has a more relaxed, genial and lyrical quality than its predecessor. Musically speaking, Cream was an equal partnership of three hard-driving individualists, who broke up at the peak of their success from...
...eloquence of the Apollo 11 trio provided the finest moments of Richard Nixon's elaborate state dinner in their honor. Nixon stage-managed the program for the ballroom of the Century Plaza Hotel, summoning the Marine Drum and Bugle Corps from Washington, decreeing that a song be written and performed for the occasion. The President himself approved the menu right down to the clair de lune dessert, a sphere of ice cream topped with a tiny American flag. Pat Nixon personally okayed the table decorations, which included gold napkins and cloths, flower centerpieces and twinkling five-pronged candelabra...
...Greene's view, conditions do not improve as man grows up. As the most famous of the trio of British literary converts (the others: Evelyn Waugh and Muriel Spark), Greene is a Catholic of Augustinian severity, more conscious of evil than of grace. "Human nature," he asserts, here as in his novels, "is not black and white but black and grey...
...space program. Dealing as it does with a research satellite that returns to earth lethally contaminated, there has rarely been such a right book at such a right time. Only two months ago, I remember hearing someone's garbled version of the proposed Apollo recovery that had our trio of astronauts stepping onto the Hornet and then shaking hands with President Nixon before being packed off into a world of saran-wrapped sterility--all in all, a delightful thought, in which the nation and the moon germs could only stand to gain. Unfortunately, it didn't happen, Houston, unwilling...
...concert itself, the fairest thing to say would be that, on the whole, it was enjoyable, particularly if one hasn't a very good sense of pitch. The Schumann Piano Trio No. 2 kin F Major, opus 80, opened the program and nearly closed it. Alexander Schneider, Leslie Parnas, and Murray Perahia showed no life, no energy, and no enthusiasm. Each movement was stodgy, and movements two and three positively died at the end. The cellist performed rather well. Unfortunately the violinist was sadly out of tune. The biggest single complaint I would register against the performance was lack...
