...jeux-de-mots quasi (ou franchement) obscenes, de citations heroiques. "Je suis marxiste tendance groucho," ecrit un etudiant de Nanterre; "Je jouis dans les paves," declare un autre: nous ne sommes evidement pas parmi de graves doctrinaires. Dans l'ambiance febrile et joyeuse de mai meme les minettes du 16eme aident a la construction des barricades; a la colere, et a la passion anti-gouvernementale se mele un desir incoherent de participer au defi solidaire de la jeunesse. Derriere la naivete du celebre "J'ai quelque chose a dire mais je ne sais pas quoi" se trouve un besoin inarticule...
Shattered Tradition. The Republicans scored several notable upsets. Delaware's Charles L. Terry Jr., at 68 the nation's oldest Governor, was defeated by Republican Russell Peterson, 51, who surged ahead after Terry suffered a heart attack. A civic activist and Du Pont employee, Peterson is a rather dull, determined organizer. Arizona's one-eyed Republican Governor Jack Williams, 59, ran a repeat of his 1966 defeat of ex-Governor Sam Goddard, aided by a liquor-board scandal uncovered in the debris of Goddard's earlier regime. Wisconsin's Warren Knowles, 60, who was not favored to retain the governorship...
...after guest conductors in Europe and the U.S. It helps explain why, in the space of only a few years, his recordings of Schoenberg, Berg, Debussy and Stravinsky have been such successes. Says the Los Angeles Philharmonic's Zubin Mehta: "When he does Stravinsky's Le Sacre du Printemps, it's so clear and expert, it's like George Szell's Eroica. It gets on your nerves a bit, because you know you can't do it as correctly...
...Aggressive. In his early critical writings, just published in Notes of an Apprenticeship (Knopf; $8.95), Boulez criticized almost every leading composer except his idols, Debussy and Webern. While praising Stravinsky's rhythmic innovations in Le Sacre du Printemps, Boulez rapped him for his unwillingness to surrender diatonic melody-and reliance on the tonic and dominant-in favor of serialism. As for the father of serialism, Arnold Schoenberg, Boulez took him to task for failing to apply the serialistic principle of melodic organization to other aspects of music like timbres and intervals between notes...
...Starbord House, dinners were served on an early-1800s English table from porcelain that had belonged to Madame du Barry and the Prince de Condé. The sitting room, library and foyer were crammed with rare 17th and 18th century furniture and objets d'art. When Wickes, a retired lawyer, died in 1964 at the age of 88, his heirs gave the $4,000,000 collection to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. Some 800 selections from it go on view next week. They have been exquisitely installed, with the aid of Wickes' longtime caretaker, English-born Charles...
