...Szell's album of the last three and best symphonies (Columbia; 3 LPs; $ 11.98). Most other fans of the Czech nationalist will want to save their pennies for this set. Kubelik's surging way with the music catches its color and drama and seems to belie the uneven moments in some of the early symphonies. The Berlin Philharmonic, reduced so often to a static silkiness by its regular leader, Herbert von Karajan, here seems positively to revel in Kubelik's ruddy approach...
...opera. The album's advantage is that it retains its committment to its music. Tommy's failure was due partially to the absurdity of its scenario and also to its author's over-committment to operatic form--to the detriment of the music. The resulting confusion produced a remarkably uneven work. It had little depth and it was moralistic, even melodramatic...
...cent returns they may bring. But most of this investment goes into economies which support one of the most threatening problems to peaceful and equitable development in Africa: the artificial racial barriers erected by the White-dominated colonies and countries in the South. As long as these remain the uneven investment patterns which favor the white centers of development, there is little hope that an equitable integration of races can be achieved and the constant danger that violence may erupt...
...uneven level of players inevitably produces imbalanced play. "You can still see good hockey on given nights in both leagues," says Hull, "but on other nights teams can stink." Earlier this season, for instance, the impoverished California Golden Seals skated into Boston like somnambulists. Losing 4-1, they challenged the Bruins' goalie with only 19 shots during the entire game-offensive ineptitude equivalent to that of a football team that cannot cross midfield more than two or three times in a game. The New York Islanders displayed their own brand of indifferent play through the entire season last year...
Burger's legal model is the British system, under which some 300,000 solicitors defer to 3,000 barristers for all courtroom advocacy. The resulting professionalism speeds the trial process and tends to prevent a case turning primarily on the uneven skills of opposing advocates. Critics contend that the clubbiness of British barristers sometimes leads them to pull punches rather than fight for the best interests of clients. But Burger feels that too many U.S. lawyers push the adversary system to the other extreme and brawl to an unreasonable degree that wastes court time...
