...which he plays, seemingly all at once, six different instruments in ten musical guises. The show is a promo for McCartney II, a new album that features guess who on every instrumental track. The old Beatles will never reunite, says McCartney: "The others don't seem keen enough." Ah, but why reassemble the fabulous four when one can be cloned into...
...Ah spring, season of hope, young love, baseball and journalism awards. Each year more than half of all national prizes for editorial and photographic excellence are presented in April, May and June. At the midpoint of this awards season, TIME has already captured a wallful of major honors. Last week the prestigious Overseas Press Club of America added three more. Correspondents Walter Isaacson and Donald Neff were given the O.P.C.'s Mary Hemingway Award for best magazine reporting from abroad, for their work on last year's cover story "The Colombian Connection: Billions in Pot and Coke." Neff interviewed drug...

While the family at home worries aobut Richard's absence during his spree...
...idyllic world of Ah, Wilderness never existed. No town was ever this innocent, no family this sweet. Yet the actors work well with their sentimental material; they play off one another well. Since Ah, Wilderness rests on family love, the fine ensemble acting--rare in a Harvard production--redeems O'Neill's saccharine morality. We believe this family loves one another, even though we know love doesn't in real life, automatically prevail...
