Musicians, like other artists, occasionally regard themselves as pioneers whose wagon train to the mountains of truth and beauty is encircled by whooping savages : the critics. Last week New York Philharmonic Wagon Master Leonard Bernstein, whose hide has been punctured by as many arrows as any, leveled his Winchester at a particular pesky redskin. Asked what he thought of music critics by Reporter Martin Agronsky on NBC-TV's Look Here show, Bernstein replied: "I have come to take them not very seriously any more.

Perhaps reading too far, Torrilhon detects myxedema (underactive thyroid) in the swollen eyelids, sparse lashes, dry hair and "shivering, apathetic aspect" of the bride in the renowned canvas, The Peasant Wedding.

...Dany Carrel) invites the reconstructed wreck to a dance, and he begins to daydream about romance, riches, monograms on his shirts. And what is responsible for the change? A small thing, says Director Clair. The good-for-nothing has discovered that he is good for something-if only to hide a criminal from the police. As he happily explains to his reluctant accomplice (Georges Brassens): "At last I'm useful." Ah yes, Director Clair seems to sigh, the forces of law and order do have such a difficult time-good is almost impossible to stamp out. But then...
