...Castro F.A.L.N. may not be able to gather much popular support in Venezuela, but it is adept at making mischief. Posing as government narcotics agents, several F.A.L.N. members last week abducted visiting Spanish Soccer Star Alfredo Di Stéfano, 37. From a hideout in Caracas the F.A.L.N. issued bulletins, even held a press conference to exhibit their prisoner, while Venezuelan police scurried helplessly about looking for them.

Great dollops of sensitivity and rebellion may be expected in reminiscences of childhood, and poor little Shelagh Delaney is no exception, though the tough, sullen delinquent pose she adopted to protect her secret soul is fairly new in this genre.

Mullin is particularly adept at staging the few slapstick scenes, and would probably do an excellent job on a play with more of them...

Instead, he pursues unconventional harmonic flights, exploring the full reach of the keyboard with a fanciful right hand and a strong and steady bass line. In improvisation, his imagination is rich to the point of bursting, and he punctuates his own ideas with ironic mockeries of the pianists he has learned something from-Fats Waller, Thelonious Monk, Bud Powell, Art Tatum...
