...this symphonic reconstruction of time past, there is a soloist: young Rufus Follet, who plays a lighthearted, vagrant air in counterpoint to the heavier orchestration. Death, to Rufus, is scarcely more complex than the other riddles flung at him each waking day-the nagging puzzle of why he should not speak about the black color of a Negro maid's skin; or why the older boys on their way to school solemnly ask his name and then go into fits of inexplicable laughter; or why a woman will suddenly become so very...
Died. Peter Freuchen, 71, Danish adventurer, explorer, $80,000 TV quiz winner (The $64,000 Question, The $64,000 Challenge), novelist (Ivalu, Eskimo), autobiographer (It's All Adventure, Vagrant Viking), whose Eskimo-life reporting is considered first-rate popularized anthropology; of a heart attack; at Elmendorf Air Base, near Fairbanks, Alaska.

The themes are the expected ones, but the orchestration is more mystical and ornate, the form more vagrant and diffuse. Though pivoting on a strike and an O'Casey-like young idealist (Kevin McCarthy) who is killed in it, the events, far from displaying any clear dramatic line, are never really dramatized at all. Garrulous minor characters outshine those involved in action, Dublin overshadows individual Dubliners, speech passes...
