...high-paying tournaments to still higher paying exhibitions to the stratospheric payoffs of staged-for-TV challenge matches. Once Jack Kramer, Lew Hoad, Pancho Gonzales and Ken Rosewall dreamed of an organized tour circuit that would provide steady income to pro regulars. The current Big Three-Borg, Connors and Argentina's Guillermo Vilas -can now ply their trade on two multimillion-dollar tours, Lamar Hunt's World Championship Tennis and the Grand Prix circuit. However, this year none of them has deigned to play in enough W.C.T. and G.P. events to qualify for the $2 million bonus pool...
...also made it clear that he would be neither John XXIV nor Paul VII. Said Baltimore's liberal Lawrence Cardinal Shehan: "Perhaps we can take it as a sign of his independence." "The name is of great importance," said José Miguez Bonino, a Protestant liberation theologian in Argentina and an honorary president of the World Council of Churches.

(Everybody out). All not permitted in the conclave will then leave. A chosen Cardinal, in this case Argentina's Eduardo Pironio, will supervise the lockup inside. Two other Vatican officials and the commandant of the Swiss Guard will also lock the door from the outside. Special notaries will duly document the sealing...
...staging is more problematical. Using a large company and rear-projected newsreel footage, the director has created some undeniably powerful tableaux: Evita's political rallies, her death and funeral have a dark and chilling majesty. But Prince is capable of sinking to Rice's simplistic level: Argentina's aristocratic class is symbolized by a phalanx of chorus people who seem to have stepped out of the Ascot Gavotte number of My Fair Lady. The director also cannibalizes his own previous work. Evita's portentous first-act finale (A New Argentina) is a dead ringer for that...
