...quiet boy who favors jeans and turtleneck sweaters, Paul has been studying art with his father for the last four years, but the old man's suggestion at first seemed absolutely balmy. Though the lackluster Summer Show gets an annual trouncing from London's critics, it does represent the Academy's pick of some 10,000 entries sent in by R.A.s and other painters from all over Britain. But last week, when the show opened with appropriate pomp, it was Paul and not his father who was there as an honored guest...
...Thomas Schippers. In the role of the Dutchman (equated by Wagner with both Odysseus and the Wandering Jew) Baritone George London was convincingly demon-ridden, his voice fresh, passionate but controlled. In the comparatively minor role of Daland, the Norse sea captain, Bass Giorgio Tozzi-convincingly costumed in turtleneck sweater, jacket and boots-sang with warm-timbred verve, while Tenor Karl Liebl turned in his best performance of the season as the huntsman Erik.

The most refreshing recruits to this fraternity are four sober-suited young men who call themselves-no less cutely-the Hi-Lo's, but make a specialty of kidding the beanies off their brothers...
Continentalism is as hard to study as it is easy to incur. Its relatively new thread is often hard to single out from the longer-established strands of traditional New England Anglophilism, or impotent Cambridge bohemianism, or merely the shabby genteel. Are that tweed cap and turtleneck sweater and that pair of Colin Wilson glasses long standing affectations, with family sanction, or have they been induced by a fortnight in London? Does that hawk-shouldered young lady with the unattached hair and dangling earrings long to be at Mary Vorse's place instead of the Mandrake? Or is she dressing...
