...unification of two of the forces is, ultimately, where Glashow, Weinberg, and their fellow recipient, Pakistani Dr. Abdus Salam, fit in. But not right away. Before their breakthrough came a legion of wayward plaths, of errors and frustrations. "Nobel Laureate Julian Schwinger," Glashow will say of his great mentor, "attacked the problem, but even he came away discouraged. There were too many mysteries." This was as recently as 1955, and at this time only a lonely few really believed that someone would prove this abstract theory...
...human impulses, who took the initiative to lead America toward a concept of peace compatible with its new realities and the perils of a nuclear age, and that the foreign leaders who best understood this were Mao and Chou, who openly expressed their preference for Richard Nixon over the wayward representatives of American liberalism.

He is the owner of the nightclub whose name-it means "Birds of a Feather"-gives the film its title. The club features drag queens, notably Zaza (Michel Serrault), Dad's lover of 20 years...
...fine for a genius like Karajan," he says. "I wanted people to be able to sample various ways of looking at Bach." So he brought in Rosalyn Tureck for an intensely wrought solo recital on harpsichord and piano. Margaret Hillis, director of the Chicago Symphony Chorus, led a sometimes wayward program of vocal and orchestral works that ended solidly on the Magnificat. Harpsichordist Anthony Newman "and friends" sped their dazzling, often unorthodox way through an evening of chamber pieces...
