...wild freedom when you could take off in almost any direction and find something exciting without having to check a sheaf of papers, fill out questionnaires and worry about your time limits in any one area. The people were wild and the animals were wild and the living was wilder. The Africa I knew and loved so much a decade ago has changed tremendously...
...cheesecake: pert, serious Cinemactress Vivien Leigh, wife of Sir Laurence Olivier, and a grandmother at 45. Last week trim Lady Olivier slipped on a red satin bathing suit and black mesh stockings, made a slinky, twittery TV debut as Sabina, the talkative, never-say-die seductress-maid in Thornton Wilder's The Skin of Our Teeth.

...thighs, he really cuts the mustard with the teen-age cow bunnies. An exmarine, he is easily the most ambitious of television's men on horseback.

There is little nontechnical description one can give about such a work, except that it confirmed the impression of force and individuality made by Rzewski's earlier pieces last year. William Wilder's Duo for String Quartet, another example of minimal performance instructions did not quite come off, perhaps because the players did not take full advantage of the near-complete rhythmical freedom they were given. John Cage's Six Melodies for Violin and Keyboard, which employs only eleven sounds, turned...
