...roots to begin with. Another hope is that dictatorships will gain enough of a sense of security to cut out at least the routine use of the worst brutalities. Meanwhile, about the only avenues left are publicity and prayer-and, perhaps, keeping alive in memory a statement made by Vladimir Hertzog, a Brazilian journalist found dead a few hours after being detained in Sao Paulo last October. Said Hertzog: "If we lose our capacity to be outraged when we see others submitted to atrocities, then we lose our right to call ourselves civilized human beings...
...reorganization announced last week, Hurok Concerts worked out a deal with a smaller, rival manager, Harold Shaw, 53, and gave him most of its artistic leadership. Shaw will continue to run his own company, Shaw Concerts, which handles such artists as Guitarist Julian Bream, Contralto Maureen Forrester and Pianist Vladimir Horowitz. A merger may be possible in the future, but for now the move is comparable to Ford turning operations over to American Motors...
...force in the management field. Last May, shortly after he was fired as Hurok's president, Gold announced the formation of his own firm, ICM Artists Ltd. Since then, the agency has signed up such onetime Hurok clients as Violinists Isaac Stern and Pinchas Zukerman; Pianists Claudio Arrau, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Gina Bachauer and Daniel Barenboim; Cellist Leonard Rose; Conductors Erich Leinsdorf and Julius Rudel; and Dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov.

The program, which cost up to $ 1,000 per ticket and inspired $1.2 million in contributions to the impoverished performance center, included compositions by Bach, Beethoven, Schumann and Tchaikovsky-the latter having conducted at Carnegie Hall...
...title The Uses of Enchantment suggests utility over literary delight, therapy before amusement. Deep within the volume are less convincing "proofs" of this attitude. The legends of Snow White, of Hansel and Gretel, of Goldilocks are parsed for every psychological nuance. Here the reader leaves the nursery for what Vladimir Nabokov calls "the fundamentally medieval world of Freud, with its crankish quest for sexual symbols (something like searching for Baconian acrostics in Shakespeare's works) and its bitter little embryos spying, from their natural nooks, upon the love life of their parents." To Bettelheim, Goldilocks' peek into...
