Crackle, Seethe and Spit
Nowhere is the effort to update
the language of journalism more
evident, it seems to us, than in
the “culture sections” of the Sun
day press. Movie, music, televi
sion and theatre reviewers seem
to be tailoring their copy to fit
the violence of the media they
must judge, and as a result, the
reviews crackle, seethe and spit,
often delivering m.etaphoric
shockers that are like sharp stabs
in the ribs.
This is all designed, we sup
pose to sell newspapers, and cer
tainly it is an exciting trend.
Even so, we were somewhat
surprised Sunday to find Dick
Banks, the Charlotte Observer
music critic, in his coverage of
the annual Metropolitan Opera
Week in Atlanta, comparing the
performances of somewhat old-
fashioned and tradition-loaded
operas of the Met’s repertory to
football games where you root
for your favorites and want to
kill the others.
Undoubtedly this is good. Sure
ly Met Opera Impresario Rudolph
Bing has worked hard at upda
ting the repertory, cutting out,
often ruthlessly, the dead wood
in both operas performed and
stars perform.ing, and maybe the

Certain it is that the make-up,

Open Letter
... To the kind friends who
so graciously loaned us their at
tractive and comfortable cottage
on the South Carolina coast dur
ing our vacation last week. . .
Please don’t think we’re not
grateful. The fault is undoubtedly
“not in our stars, but in our
selves. . .”
We have always harbored the
quaint notion that a stay at the
shore should be, above all things,
relaxing, as the endless motion of
the waters and the constantly
shifting tides, the salt air and
warm sunshine should lead to a
relaxing of tensions, frustrations,
and all other tiresome things
from which you hope to escape at
the sea.
This mad dream of relaxation
disappears when you take two
boys, one six and one 14, along
with you. Not that they aren’t
model youngsters, especially if
they belong to you. (They even
did most of the cooking, washing
up and house cleaning.) It’s just,
you understand, that they, like
the ocean, are in constant motion
So instead of stretching out on
the hot sands soaking up sunburn,
you find yourself sitting bolt up
right, stomach churning like the
waves, watching two boys make
like porpoises and wondering if
those heads will ever reappear
above the combers where they
are rolling, diving, and generally
disporting themselves, on an
En route home, after 48 lively
hours, while we stopped briefly
to change from driver’s to passen
ger’s seat, a state patrol car,
cruising along at a reckless 15
mph, pulled up alongside our car
and the patrolman sympatheti
cally enquired, “Lady, are you
broke down?”
While assuring him that we
weren’t, we inwardly admitted
that this was a most accute obser
vation of our condition.
