Listeners who went to the monster concert with purely musical expectations may have found it too much of a not good enough thing. But perhaps they missed the point. The evening, with its interlude of vocal selections and its entr'acte speech by Gottschalk Scholar Robert Offergeld, was intended as a nostalgic entertainment, a good-humored throwback to a more innocent age when the concert hall had to mediate between the salon and the circus. If Gottschalk's significance did not always come through clearly, his flamboyant spirit certainly...
...takes aim and fires in a recent book titled Black Macho & the Myth of the Superwoman (Dial; $7.95). Tracing the breakdown of black male-female relationships back to the civil rights struggles of the '60s, she writes: "During the summer of 1964 hundreds of middle-class white women went South to work with the Movement and, in a fair number of cases, to have affairs with black men.
