Portuguese Denial. Casualty figures were uncertain at week's end. One hundred Guineans were reported killed. The number of killed and wounded among the invaders was unknown, but about 100 were captured. Three Europeans -including a five-year-old Yugoslav girl -were killed in the fighting, which went on for some 40 hours in the capital. Lisbon denied any Portuguese connection. In a similar episode, however, Portuguese aircraft recently bombed Senegalese border villages from which guerrillas had been attacking Guinea-Bissau (the attacks quickly ceased...
...converted Reno garage, carefully chosen to avoid intimidating the frequently poor and scruffy clients they wanted to represent. They further decided to take "only the cases where there is a serious injury and clear negligence." Apparent translation: cases that promise large damage awards. In each of the past five years, the duo has grossed more than $2,000,000 in damages for relatively few clients. For the very biggest cases, Boccardo. a friend of Bradley's, has been called in to handle the trial...
Daniel's field has more lions in it. If not the best pianist in the under-30 group, he is certainly one of the busiest and most versatile men in music history. He gives 200 concerts a year on five continents. In London he is moving into television. He is getting busier and busier as a conductor, too, in the international style in which he does everything. When friends urge him to slow down, he reminds them of what the late Sir John Barbirolli once said: "When you're young you should have an excess of everything...
Intriguing Figure. Both Daniel and Jacqueline were hard at work at their chosen instruments by the age of five. Born in Oxford (father was an accounting executive, mother a pianist-composer), Jacqueline went to a London cello school at six, began studying privately at ten. Buenos Aires-born Daniel was a true child prodigy. His parents (both music teachers) moved to Tel Aviv because they thought that Israel was the place to educate a Jewish boy. At ten he was traveling the capitals of the world giving recitals in short pants. Hustle, shrewdness and charm did the rest...
Quite simply, Barenboim has not yet decided what kind of pianist he really wants to be. Five years ago, he rippled off Mozart sonatas and Beethoven concertos in a smooth, glassy style, as opposed to the passionate, warmly phrased playing of the late Artur Schnabel, Van Cliburn, even Daniel's friend Vladimir Ashkenazy. Barenboim's more recent recordings of Mozart's concertos Nos. 17, 20 and 21 are still too bland and bloodless. This year's set of the complete Beethoven 32 (like his current Tully Hall cycle) has weaknesses, notably a prevailing glibness...
