Milton R Bass notes speculation about Neil Armstrongs famous line and contrasts it with Buzz Aldrins natural reaction. He mocks presidential stylistics and jokes about spin doctors while recounting a public relations anecdote and pondering what the first words might have been.
A column blends spaceflight satire with memories of Bastogne and NASA funding debates. It recalls Captain Kirk style irreverence toward the moon mission era, coins a playful jab on LEM waste, and ends noting Robert Bloch’s Aug 12 violin recital at Roeliff Jansen Central School Hillsdale NY with Jaquelin Marcault accompanying. Bloch joins Cornell faculty in fall after San Francisco Symphony stint.
A mixed BU faculty and visiting critic lineup at the Glass House wintering at Tanglewood through August 14 yields mostly competent to outstanding works but lacks a cohesive or stimulating vision. Notable pieces include Richard Yarde’s Child and Door, Sidney Hurwitz’s green oil, David Ratner’s chaotic toy studies, John Wilson’s quiet ghetto scenes, Harold Tovish’s drawings, Philip Pearlstein’s refined portrait and nude studies, and Gabriel Laderman’s Still Life No. 6. The exhibit feels casual, with some stands above others, delivering a restrained yet thoughtful survey of contemporary figurative art.
Albert Masiero of 1070 Holmes Road turned in a violin found on the street. Roger Shermont of Brookline, a Boston Symphony Orchestra violinist, rushed to the police station in distress for the Sunday concert. A reward had been offered before the violin was located.
