Altman omits what is expectable in movies of this sort and includes the scenes that other film makers have left out. Bowie (Keith Carradine) is a young con who busts out of prison with a couple of older buddies (John Schuck, Bert Remsen) into the grim realities of the Depression South. Because they figure it to be no more antisocial than starvation, the trio start to rob small-town banks. They do it with matter-of-fact efficiency, and Altman treats them in the same even way. He is not concerned with the mechanics of the heist but the social...

He wants Ford to be confirmed "as quickly as possible," and he fervently hopes, "for the country's sake," that Nixon will...

Radcliffe Grant-in-Aid's last production was Suffragette, an original musical which went on to win awards and things. This one has previews tonight and tomorrow (half-price), opens Saturday at 8 p.m. at Agassiz...
...because of their better hitting, but the minimal expectation was for crisply played baseball. Some of the man-to-man match-ups had the potential for classic tests: Superpitchers Tom Seaver of the Mets and Jim Hunter of the A's, superior Shortstops Bud Harrelson and Bert Campaneris, Bullpen Stars Tug McGraw and Rollie Fingers, and, finally, two dramatically different managers and strategies. Yogi Berra had won the National League pennant by patiently waiting for the return of injured regulars and then sticking with one lineup down the stretch. Dick Williams had shuffled his mustachioed...
