...foot in it. The Queen Mother is everybody's baby sitter. Lord Snowdon and Princess Margaret are the scandalous bohemians; they actually stay out late at night, have been known to drink, and it is widely rumored that on occasion they even have fights?and fun. Princess Anne, Charles' younger sister, is beginning to give her aunt and uncle a run for the tabloid money. Only 17, she has lately turned from a chubby duckling into a passably delectable swan, wings through London in exotic hats and miniskirts, and recently danced on the stage with the cast of Hair (clad...
...making less of a direct attack. In a shrewd maneuver, the church and pro-Vatican Christian Democrats have mounted a campaign largely aimed at wives. "Pay attention," says a street poster. "If the divorce law passes, your husband, when he happens to lose his head over a girl younger than you, can leave the house, ask for a separation and after five years move on to a new marriage whether you like it or not." One group unimpressed by such arguments: Italy's 500,000 "white widows," women whose husbands went to other countries to work, got divorced...
Every visitor wants the Irish to stay the way they are. But the younger Irish have known for some time that this depends on remaining outside history; that the culture which has been mummified so long, and looks so fresh, may well crumble at the first blast of fresh air.

His own music (notably Eclat, Le Marteau sans Maitre, fresh, glittering, mobile works filled with a constant sense of surprise that belies their tight structure) reflects...
...brings astonishing rhythmic control and a primitive passion for the work's savage shafts of power. He does not much care for Brahms, Tchaikovsky, or Bruckner, but his conducting of Beethoven, Mozart and Haydn has been superb in its structural logic. During his Philharmonic stay, he attracted a younger, more intellectual audience than usual. Even the hard-to-please orchestra was impressed with his mentality and uncanny ear. "He's probably got the greatest musical ear in the world," says Saul Goodman, who has been playing timpani for the orchestra since the Mengelberg days of the late 1920s...
