...batsmen took up the slack with muscular aplomb. The club's big guns, Outfielders Cleon Jones and Tommie Agee, blasted three home runs and eight R.B.I.s between them; Rightfielder Art Shamsky batted .538 for the series. Overall statistics: 27 runs, 37 hits (including six home runs) and a phenomenal team batting average...
Osborne's constant concerns are present-male camaraderie, an outcast's attempt to crash a caste system, scorn for a decadent elite-but in A Patriot for Me, they appear like footnotes on a blank page. History may be his favorite reading, but drama is no pastime art. Osborne's dramatic destiny is clear, demanding and inescapable. He alone can and must be the life of his plays...
...significant theater seems to require the kinetic tempo, the minute-to-minute violence and conflict, the constant intellectual bombardment and diversity that can exist only in a great city. The prime fallacy behind regional theater is the notion that architecture induces art, that bricks breed genius.

Far from assembling able dedicated ensemble companies, the regional theater has merely spawned a theatrical bureaucracy of so-so actors and so-so directors who are not above displaying a sly slapdash contempt...
...idea presents enormous difficulties. Seismologists would have to know exactly where and when to explode the bombs-an art that still eludes them, although they may eventually be able to predict quakes by carefully calculating earth stresses. Still more delicate would be the decision on the size of the bomb. The Miami seismologists-Cesare Emiliani, Christopher G. A. Harrison and Mary Swanson-say that the job probably could be done by high-yield nuclear devices of one to ten megatons, presumably H-bombs. But other seismologists point out that an explosion meant only to keep the earth's crust...
...sleek and impersonal as a hood ornament on a Pierce Arrow, Constantin Brancusi's Bird in Space is far better known than its maker. It made headlines in 1926 when the U.S. Customs Bureau refused to let it in the country duty-free, claiming that it was not art but mere metal. In the comic-opera court proceedings that followed, a group of American art lovers won a modest but crucial ruling: that to be art, a work by a recognized sculptor need not bear a striking resemblance to a natural object. Whether or not the decision affected...
