...funny, funny play, and you'll probably laugh yourself silly. "The Vatican Rag" has long been one of my favorite spoof songs, and The Greatest Musical Ever Sung shares (if only fitfully) much of its vigor. If you still take your eucharist seriously, go to the Prudential or something; if not, there's still time to hear the Pharisees do a splendid barbershop quartet. Yuks per minute, its a lot easier going than Levi-Strauss...
...should be able to maintain a consistency of style and feeling is not unusual, but in a solo album the establishment of such an identity too often comes at the expense of variety. Fortunately Cale is a complex man, and he has plotted Violence with a subtlety and protean vigor that overwhelms the threat of monotony.

Like an aging roue looking back on halcyon days, the House Un-American Activities Committee has tried to sanitize its image. It changed its name to the House Internal Security Committee in 1969 and made abortive attempts to revive lost vigor (convening hearings on such left-wing groups as the S.D.S.).

When she becomes the mistress of a young artist (Franco Nero), Don Lope shouts in misery, "I prefer tragedy to ridicule . . ." The girl awards him both. Her flight with the artist is ended by a disease that costs her a leg. Convalescing in the house...
...complete circle from a cluster of old buildings to the outermost playing fields and back again. Then he intercepted the circle with five new academic buildings (a student center, lecture hall, library, administration building and arts center) set along an angular pedestrian "spine." These new buildings gave personality and vigor to the college and landscape, thus resolving Fredonia's great problem of formless anonymity. Moreover, they never turn their backs on their older neighbors; rather the new honor and upgrade the old. It is an architecture of good manners-and should set the tone for future buildings at Fredonia...
