JUST BEFORE NIGHTFALL is Director Claude Chabrol's cunningly engineered fable about a man (Michel Bouquet) who strangles his mistress and is slowly enveloped by guilt. He blurts out a confession to his wife, who understands; he tells his best friend, who is similarly sympathetic. The fact that his friend was also his mistress's husband only adds a little piquancy to the situation. Awash in forgiveness, the hapless killer has only one logical object for his mounting horror and self-loathing. His home, all glass and chrome and odd, abrupt angles, makes a suitably antiseptic moral landscape...
...white in mind when I designed the Opera House. The final effect will at times resemble what we call Alpengluhen [alpenglow], the color you get on snowcapped mountains when the sun is setting, the beautiful pink and violet reflections from the combination of mat snow and shiny ice." The bouquet of shells, holding the main hall, two secondary theaters, art-exhibition space, a chamber-music room and a restaurant, would be anchored to float above a massive platform containing the several hundred utility rooms of the Opera House. Utzon's podium originated with a 1949 visit to Mexico, where...
Margaret Court, the gracious Australian ace, made the mistake of picking up Bobby's challenge, and the result was this year's Mother's Day massacre.

Says King: "When I finally saw the film of the match and watched him present her with those roses and Margaret curtsy, I yelled 'Margaret, you idiot, you played right into...
Just how tight Kim's police protection was became apparent when TIME Correspondent S. Chang, a longtime friend, tried to deliver a bouquet of flowers to Mrs. Kim and was told by police he could no longer visit them. An obliging officer, however, delivered the flowers and brought back a note scribbled in English: "I'm sorry to let you know we're confined at home. My heart is filled with sorrow. Please pray for my husband's safety again...
...tiny bouquet, however, for one line-reading. When Macbeth starts up the stairs to kill the king, and a bell rings, almost all editions have him say, "Hear it not, Duncan, for it is a knell/That summons thee to heaven, or to hell." Weaver says, "me to hell." This is an emendation I have always found rather appealing. Aside from the internal rhyme of the contrasting pronouns, it implies that the saintly king will surely achieve salvation and that Macbeth fully realizes the enormity of what he is about to do. It was a pleasure to hear this reading used...
