...myth of Director Mike Nichols, invulnerable up to now, has been that he could bust a comic rib with an onionskin script, but The Apple Tree is too thin for even his nimble touch. While Barbara Harris is as saucily mocking as ever, it becomes clearer with each performance that she is more of a zany caricaturist and mimic than she is an actress. She can do instant impersonations of people and moods, but except for her 1962 performance in Oh Dad, Poor Dad, she has never developed a character. In the past, Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick have written...
Lili Kraus, a 58-year-old grandmother, has a crush on Wolfgang and she doesn't care who knows it. When she jetted to Manhattan from Vienna last month, riding alongside her was the nearly life-size bust of Mozart that accompanies her wherever she goes. She came to do him honor in the best way she knows how: by playing all 25 of his piano concertos in nine consecutive concerts, the first time such a feat has been undertaken...
...boys had barely finished their cocktails in La Stella's restaurant out in Queens, when New York's finest burst into the joint to bust up what the Queens D.A. called a meeting even "bigger than Apalachin" of top Cosa Nostra hoodlums from New York, Florida and Louisiana.

With that kind of money, the museum often second-bids the Met, as in the case of Rembrandt's $2.3 million Aristotle Contemplating the Bust of Homer in 1961, frequently top-bids it. Equally important, hard cash often buys the right to a first look. Over the years, Cleveland has made remarkably astute use of its money, sometimes with the help of a little histrionics. The museum's second director, the renowned William M. Milliken, was given to weeping openly at meetings of his acquisition committees...
...picture. Out beyond Palm Springs, six of the sicklers solo off and chainwhip a couple of stompers from another hogpen. In the peel-off, Loser (Bruce Dern) puts the burn on a police bike, catches a slug in the back, lands on the critical list. H.B. and his buddies bust him out of the hospital, but back at the clubhouse Loser dies of shock while puffing pot. As the fuzz move in, the choppers move out for Loser's funeral in a chapel draped with Nazi banners. The-rite soon turns into a riot, during which the stompers stomp...
