...struggled to raise the 17,508 sq. ft. of brilliant orange canvas in time for the evening's performance. All the while, a small, bearded figure zipped frantically through the melee, hauling on ropes, testing wires and worrying about the wind-and about the chance that a bull elephant might turn catastrophically amorous. When the tent was finally up, Impresario Clifford Vargas glanced aloft and declared with satisfaction: "We are the biggest big top in America...
...other treatments like immunotherapy (TIME cover, March 19, 1973), it could provide a promising new weapon against substantial-sized tumors; it would not be effective against leukemia and other cancers involving widely dispersed malignancies. LeVeen also agrees with the authors of an accompanying editorial in JAMA, Drs. Joan M. Bull and Paul B. Chretien of the National Cancer Institute, who urge additional tests on patients-with special attention directed toward any adverse side effects-before wide-scale application of heat therapy in cancer treatment.

...action proceeds mainly as a kind of extended barracks-room bull session. But eventually, sexual desire between Richie and Carlyle triggers a racist diatribe from Billy. Suddenly Carlyle flips out his switchblade, slashes Billy (apparently mortally) and then carves up a fat intruding master sergeant, killing him. Physically and dramatically, this seems like an arbitrarily gory denouement, but the logic of inevitable violence has governed the play all along...
