...Henry Gibson's Haven Hamilton could be vain, phony and tyrannical, a civic leader and country star apparently treating like children the audience that fed his ego. Until he stands on the stage of the Parthenon oblivious to his wounded arm, thinking of the audience before himself. "This isn't Dallas, this is Nashville. Let's show 'em what we're made of!" If one's inclined to make value judgements about specific moments here, the gesture is either redeeming or it is not. But Altman and Gibson developed the character in a less good guy/bad...
...Soviet presence, however, is the missile facility now under construction at Berbera -a project that the Somalis as well as the Soviets have steadfastly denied. To be sure, Berbera has no silos or concrete launching pads for ballistic missiles. But it will definitely have major installations designed to maintain, arm and fuel ship-to-ship missiles with a range of 30 miles. It will also be capable of handling mobile ground-to-air missiles. Among the facilities under construction: three 1,000-ft.-long bunkers for storing missiles, a center for arming Soviet ship-to-ship missiles (something that cannot...
Synod seemed to be moving slowly in the same direction. Attempting to tighten discipline and doctrine on what he saw as a drifting ship, Preus cracked down. His main targets were faculty members of the denomination's major academic arm, Concordia Seminary of St. Louis. These teachers, who in the ensuing debate styled themselves moderates, take a less rigid view of the Bible, accepting modern interpretation that explains the story of Adam and Eve, for instance, less as history than myth. In 1974 Preus won the ouster of the seminary's president, the Rev. John H. Tietjen...
...outfield more frustrating and impressive Bernie Carbo a strong hitter with erratic tendencies that have led him to kick off seasons brilliantly and sag near the end, has been leading off the order and playing right. Dwight Evans, another young right fielder, has plumped lately, but has an excellent arm and hits well for power when he's on top of things. Center fielder Rick Miller, also a striping, would be a starter on virtually any other club: Yaz is available to play left in a pinch. Depth like this puts splinters in the trousers of young ambitious players...
...background (sometimes the hometown is no favorite of his-the other day he gave the finger to booing fans, but who can blame him? The press can and did, actually). Fisk was Rookie of the Year in 1972, but a groin injury, a viciously torn cartilage and a broken arm have kept him in the game sporadically until a few weeks ago. Since then he's been terrific, but every time a runner comes hustling home with spikes high you get a lump in your throat-there's something doomed about the guy. Red Sox fans have nightmares about this...
