Vanderbilt's Alexander Heard: The university president is right smack in the vortex of a whole host of contentions and conflicts. It can be frustrating, and if you expect it to be rational, it can be maddening. But I am going to beat the job rather than let the job beat me-trying to be a university president is as important as anything in the country today...
PRUDENTIAL'S ON STAGE (NBC, 9:30-11 p.m.). The first of five original dramas, Certain Honorable Men, by Rod Serling, focuses on U.S. Congressmen caught in the vortex of national politics. The cast includes Pat Hingle, Van Heflin, Peter Fonda...
Montreal's Leonard Cohen appears to be drifting toward the vortex of popular success. His 1966 novel, Beautiful Losers, a hallucinogenic potion of Iroquois history and art-as-psychosis, has a sizable readership among college students and literate dropouts. Cohen has been documented on an educational television film and interviewed on CBS. His recent move into folk-rock composing and singing has not gone unnoticed either.

CHICK COREA: TONES FOR JOAN'S BONES (Vortex). There is a brilliant clarity, like tumbling diamonds, to the tones Pianist Corea polishes off here.

In Tones for Joan's Bones, he displays a more reflective gleam by smoothly rolling the melody...
KEITH JARRETT: LIFE BETWEEN THE EXIT SIGNS (Vortex). Pianist Jarrett has been one of the keys to success of the Charles Lloyd Quartet, but here he emerges for the first time with his own trio, as well as his own compositions. His skill extends to the inside as well as the outside of the piano. In Love No. 2, he riffles the strings, producing a wiry thring that scrolls around Charlie Haden's bass. With more songful tunes, such as Everything I Love and Margot, he applies his agile touch to the keyboard and produces some lyrical, tender moments...
