...find out where the girls are, men visiting unfamiliar cities generally consult cab drivers, hotel bellboys or friendly waiters. Now, because of an enterprising German printer, visitors to Berlin, Cologne, Frankfurt, Hamburg and Munich are spared that embarrassment. For about $1.80, they can buy a "city map for men" that shows where to locate streetwalkers, transvestites, dance halls, singles bars, homosexual joints and other attractions. What if a foreigner does not read German? No matter. Drawings, unmistakable in meaning and identifying each diversion, are appropriately placed on the map: a saucy girl clad only in G string and stockings always...
...INEVITABLE DOOM of American musical life has been discussed with morbid relish by almost everyone concerned for years now. Composers, still suffering from the complications of the turn-of-the century stylistic crisis, lament the unwillingness of audience and orchestras to accept unfamiliar music. Conductors skillfully transfer the blame from orchestras to players, whose reticence and unionization undermine effective rehearsal of the unknown; but they, too, indict reactionary audiences and patrons.

Michelangelo, Samuel Butler, Honore Balzac, and Robert Schumann share with Woolf manic-depressive disorders not unfamiliar to professional creative egos. Interestingly, Bell notes that his subject was never psychoanalyzed, though he doubts such treatment could have lured...
...close to their very being. Each of the four actresses in Cries and Whispers is perfect, and no one is permitted to be supreme. Bergman orchestrates them scrupulously, so that the film is the very definition of flawless ensemble playing. Kari Sylwan, the only one of the quar tet unfamiliar from previous Bergman films, gives Anna a strange, almost mys tical sense of strength. Liv Ullmann's Maria is that rare creation, a vacuous creature of substance. This seeming paradox is one excellent measure of Berg man's talent, and Miss Ullmann...
