...last saw Husband Gunther Sachs, millionaire German playboy, in mid-June during a brief Italian holiday. Since then, Brigitte Bardot, 33, has been in St.-Tropez on the Riviera contenting herself with a little party going, a little yachting, and a lot of Luigi Rizzi, 24, handsome Italian nightclub owner with whom she was glimpsed soaking up the sun au naturel. Things livened up one night when a tourist insulted her and friends hurled a few bottles at the feckless foe. Otherwise, life has been quiet for BB and beau. Gunther, meanwhile, tore himself away from the North...
...Lifeboat. Some argue that the Pope's grudging approval of only one medically inadequate means of controlling birth-the rhythm method-is inconsistent with his acknowledgment that sex is important as an expression of a loving marital relationship. Forcing a man and wife to practice rhythm, says Gunther Mack, ecumenical affairs editor of a German Protestant weekly Sonntags-blat, is "like sending a man on a sinking ship to a lifeboat full of holes...

Typically, Powell goes Schuller one better. One brief set of the pieces, he says, "can sound like The Ring of the Nibelung and can seem to last four days...
...Bottle. The latest of these new works is Gunther Schuller's wispy, astringent Concerto for Double Bass and Chamber Orchestra, which the New York Philharmonic premiered under Schuller's baton last week at Manhattan's Philharmonic Hall.

Bowing and plucking in quick succession, deftly grabbing knotty clusters of double-stops, he skittered from basso groans up to ghostly coloratura harmonics, shading effortlessly from the sound of a human voice to that...
Clearly, what jazz and classical music need are mediators who can boast impeccable credentials in both camps. Gunther Schuller is such a man. A composer, conductor, and president of Boston's New England Conservatory of Music, he is also a seasoned jazz composer, critic, lecturer and performer (French horn). Now he has put his combined backgrounds to work brilliantly in a new book, Early Jazz (Oxford; $9.75). The first of a projected two-volume musical history, the book is nothing less than the definitive guide to jazz for the classical-music...
