...Died. Sol A. Rosenblatt, 67, New York lawyer, who handled the marital affairs of the famous, was equally known as the impartial arbitrator of the city's fractious garment industry from 1935 to 1940, and from 1947 until his death; of a heart attack; in Biarritz, France. Though Rosenblatt represented such contestants as Stavros Niarchos and Alfred Vanderbilt in divorce suits, family peace was his main concern-and it was nowhere more evident than in the garment district, where his quiet good sense settled many strikes and staved off many others.

It is a pleasure to hear him roar at the world again, even if the neighborhood has gone downhill and even if he knocks Green's memoir slightly out of shape...
Some older observers are disquieted by such a torrent of activities. Impresario Sol Hurok, 79, shakes his head and says: "I think any artist should concentrate on one thing at a time. There is an old Russian saying: 'With one bottom, you can't be at two weddings.' " And Herbert von Karajan, 59, one of the last conductors bred in the old gradual apprenticeship, commented on the new conductors to a friend recently: "I'm afraid they jumped from elementary school to the university without going through the intervening stage of high school"-implying that...
