...Moment. Baroody is a mass of conflicting nationalities and interests. His family is half-Christian and half-Moslem; though he represents the most orthodox Moslem country in the world, he is a Christian. He can deliver anti-Western diatribes with as much vigor and vitriol as a 1950s Pravda editorial, yet he has an American wife and his four children received U.S. educations. A product of the American University in Beirut, Baroody has been a friend of King Feisal since their youth. He supervised the education abroad of the King's seven sons, and is reputedly adviser...
...Missing Vigor. Readers of the Ken Kesey novel from which John Gay's diffuse screenplay is derived will miss Kesey's vigor and his bigger-than-life characterizations. The book roared, the film sputters. But the actors do it more than justice. Sarrazin, whose past performances have been consistent only in their boredom, is at ease and quite effective as a maverick Stamper home from the big city.

...received, an encouraging start for the Cambridge-Early Music Society's twentieth season. Had all the players caught the enthusiasm of the Messrs. Bressler, Murcell, and Ritchie, the evening would have been still more successful. Even so, a performance such as this with under fifteen people has infinitely more vigor than the cast-of-thousands approach used by the large opera organizations in their infrequent Handel offerings. Acis--along with Henry Purcell's chamber opera Dido and Aeneas--could make a strong case for baroque opera. It is a sad commentary on the form, however, that the better examples...
