...greater ambitions than that. His programs are heavily laced with contemporary works like Penderecki's Pittsburgh Overture, Badings' Armageddon and Mayuzumi's Concerto for Percussion-just three of the 200 scores he has commissioned and published. Not content merely to bring music to the local wharf or ferry landing, he sends chamber groups into homes for lecture recitals, and he himself can often be found rehearsing the local high school band. It may just be that there is no greater innovative force in American music than Robert Boudreau...
...Wharfing Yarns. Mostly, however, drifting gives Jones the chance to chart the indirections of his own ironic, eccentrically ballasted mind. It is the kind of mind that can easily mingle references to Henry James, Robbe-Grillet and Li-yü with equations on dam overflow, yarns about wharf characters and slices of local history. It is the kind of mind that can see The Story of O and Thomas Merton's Seven Storey Mountain as two monastic classics and, like Mark Twain in Huckleberry Finn, revel in naming objects for their own sake. Jones' notes at the ends...
...Could the reverse be true? Might a murder be a suicide performed upon someone else? Such is one tentative meaning that could be derived from Marguerite Duras' simultaneously luminous and opaque play, A Place Without Doors, which is having its U.S. premiere at New Haven's Long Wharf Theater.

Since Marguerite Duras is a French novelist and a scenarist (Hiroshima, Mon Amour), still another specifically Gallic meaning to be drawn from her play...
...satin bedspreads, deep-pile carpeting, antique-white furniture and a full wall-size mural. Some rooms are equipped with bars, refrigerators and log-burning fireplaces. All Royal Inns have swimming pools, sauna baths and therapy pools at no extra charge. Some, like the year-old Royal Inn-at-the-Wharf in the company's headquarters town, San Diego, have a gymnasium. The Royal Inn planned for Anaheim, Calif., will have a movie theater with free admission for guests. Royal rooms do not come cheap: as much as $20 for a single, $30 for a double...
Boston is no longer the home of the cod, but it now has something else piscatorial to be proud of. On an abandoned wharf once used by New England's sorely depressed fishing industry, an impressive new structure overlooks the harbor. It is the $6,500,000 concrete-and-glass home of the New England Aquarium, which has finally opened its doors after more than a decade of planning and problems. The wait was worth it. Boston's undersea museum may be the prototype aquarium of the future. At the very least, it is a stunning symbol...
