...long and tortuous "Abyss of the Birds" movement. Kass showed clearly that he is the best clarinetist around. He tossed off the violent and jagged melodic lines with ease. Breathtakingly soft attacks in the highest register were followed by harrowing crescendoes without the slightest wavering in pitch. Wolff, although he had no comparable solo, sensitively handled the shifting harmonies, providing the quartet with a sure base for their soaring and sometimes frantically demonic melodies. The piece is full of fast unison passages for the strings which would glaringly expose any inconsistency in rhythm or pitch. Chang and Hogan played best...
Brutal Naturalism. If Garcia Marquez is Latin America's Faulkner, Peru's Mario Vargas Llosa is aesthetically, if not stylistically, its Dreiser. His first novel, The City of the Dogs, was a brutal slab of naturalism about life and violent death at a Peruvian military school for problem youth-a place not unlike the institution Vargas Llosa attended in the early 1950s.

...small scale and mostly short films and some free movies.

During next week's Washington's Birthday school vacation, Mario Thomas's Emmy award-winning Free to Be...You and Me will be shown daily for $.50. On the regular program beginning tonight is Bunuel's Simon of the Desert, among other things, a film from the director...
Distorted and sensational reporting by the media does as much to impede prison reform as organized political opposition. A recent Boston magazine "expose" of the treatment center for SDPs described at length the violent sexual acts of two treatment center inmates, then closed with a lament that SDPs have enormous trouble gaining the community's acceptance after they have left the center. Such articles ignore the plight of the majority who are not incorrigible and allow people to harbor misconceptions about who inhabits our prisons and what can or cannot be done to help them...
