...Lone Wolf. Now 53, the swarthy, hot-eyed, wavy-haired Celibidache has been bucking musical conventions since 1933, when he defied parental opposition and fled his native Rumania to study music in Paris and later, during the war years, at the University of Berlin. At the end of the war he took over the Berlin Philharmonic, rebuilt it singlehanded into an orchestra of international rank. In 1952, when Wilhelm Furtwangler was denazified and reinstated as conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic, Celibidache drifted off to-pursue his lone-wolf existence...
...well-written, was Claude Weaver's "Martin Luther King at Oslo." When Weaver writes "the white community is bursting with paternal advice for its little brown brothers," he does exactly what he told me not to do: he looks at someone's skin and sees the big bad wolf. He does what Sheila Rush warned against and again demonstrates the danger that Negro Affairs faces. By lumping the "white community," even for a single sentence, Weaver begins the debilitating process of over-simplification. Moreover, his denigration of King's power sounds partly like wishful SNCC thinking...
Sound & Salutary. For 172 years, noted Griswold, most state police acted as if they never heard of the Fourth Amendment ban against "unreasonable searches and seizures." Most of them never even used search warrants. In 1949, the court tolerantly ruled (Wolf v. Colorado) that states could enforce the Fourth Amendment as they saw fit. For example, they did not necessarily have to exclude illegally seized evidence (despite the rule to that effect in federal courts since 1914). Yet the states so abused even Wolf that in 1961 the court finally applied the "exclusionary rule" to all states (Mapp v. Ohio...
...Ballou. Silkenly coiffed and carefully educated, the provocative young schoolmarm boards a train headed west to Wolf City, Wyo. To ward off thieves, gamblers and rapscallions, she seats herself across from a Bible-clutching man of the cloth. "I'm Catherine Ballou," she offers demurely...
...soon, the sham preacher helps a cattle rustler escape from jail. Persuaded to hide the hot-blooded crook in her Pullman berth, Catherine (Jane Fonda) begins to reveal a flair for lawlessness and disorder that turns out to be her most endearing trait. After she blows into Wolf City at gale force, her father is murdered for his land by a hired gunfighter (Lee Marvin). Catherine becomes "Cat," an outlaw queen who scourges the countryside assisted by the amorous rustler, his prayerful accomplice, a Beatle-thatched Indian, and a drunken, generally unemployable gunfighter she can call her own (Lee Marvin...
