...actors and orchestra. Stoppard enlivened his schematic political lesson with wit, and so, at times, does Fellini. In the film's first half, a visiting TV documentary team interviews the musicians and gets a lively response. A flutist turns a cartwheel. A drummer attacks the piano as a "chatterbox." An insomniac trumpeter confides that with his instrument, "a clinker is death." Once anarchy takes hold, however, the idiosyncratic individuals are drowned out by the director's spectacle...

...that chatterbox in pinstripes prowling the third base coaching box at Yankee Stadium? Why, it was Little Orphan Billy Martin, back again as manager of baseball's world champions after a year's banishment. This time last season Yankee Owner George Steinbrenner decided that Martin was creating too much dissension among his big-name, high-salary players and replaced him with low-key Bob Lemon, who produced another championship.

...with a French accent, Mayer radiates his special brand of charm even when he's ordering lunch. While passing through the line he has managed to say something to all the food service employees, the cashier, and several students. But he is not, by any means, an overbearing chatterbox. A man of outstanding accomplishments. Mayer is also exceptionally modest. He would rather talk about his work as master of Dudley House than about his many achievements in the field of nutrition...

...King, a pre-law student with a fair forehand. They married in 1965, and Billie Jean helped put him through law school with the under-the-table expense money she was earning on the amateur circuit. In her early days on the tour she was known as a chubby chatterbox (she once weighed 160 lbs., v. 135 now). Rhinestone-studded glasses shielded her bad eyes (20/400) and temper tantrums occasionally crippled her game...
