...close in spirit to Dmitri Karamazov. A mischievous youth, he is of darker skin than the others in his family, and he suffers for it. From the start he cannot resist thievery, cannot stay out of trouble. He deserts the army, and back in the city continues to brawl and rob. At the same time, he proves simpler, more genuine than any of his siblings, although he has difficulty in being able to love, especially as he must accept the taboo which prevents his declaring and consummating his passion for his half-sister Antonia. He harbors a just hatred...
Night falls. Man and wife are restless and preoccupied- easier to go out than to be alone together. They drift off to an all-night brawl at a millionaire's mausoleal residence. "They're all dead here," the wife sighs as they enter the house. Antonioni's point is unmistakable: his hero, like Orpheus, has entered Hades, the contemporary hell of unmeaning materialism- will he find there the love, the soul, the vital core of meaning he has lost? He finds the daughter of the millionaire (Monica Vitti), a dark-haired charmer whom he fiercely pursues, only...
...tough National Hockey League, where anything short of outright mayhem is considered a fair way to stop a man from scoring, Andy Bathgate has earned his share of scars from slashing sticks and skates.

If you have the Gaelic, Folkways records "Songs of Aran"--but beware; these are field recordings. Field recording involves finding the oldest citizen of the remotest place, assuring oneself that he remembers only one or two verses, and then recording him in a high wind. The flavor is most...
From Fifth Avenue in Manhattan to Broadway in Los Angeles, the men who market the nation's goods were preparing for a knee-and-gouge brawl. On one side stood the avid discount sellers, who in the past six years have cornered nearly one-third of the nation's $14 billion-a-year department store trade; on the other were the old-line, fixed-price retailers. Hoping to juice up the sluggish trend in retail sales, each side is slashing into the other's territory as rarely before. In the process, the distinction between a discount house...
