Paradoxically, the chilling anger of The Visit springs from the fertile, unangry mind of a bulky (230 Ibs.), cigar-smoking Swiss burgher with the tastes of a bon vivant, the genial manner of a retired cook. Surrounded by his wife Lotti (once an actress), three children, four dogs and seven cats, 37-year-old Friedrich Düurren-matt churns out his bitter plays from a picture-postcard villa in the green woods overlooking Lake Neuchatel...

...Boston's Patriots' Day Marathon had its usual motley of cigar-smoking clowns, bicycle riders and beer-drinking college boys who dropped out of the race when they got to Wellesley. But after the show-offs were gone, pale, frail Franjo Mihalic, 36, a Yugoslav printer, outlegged all the other hoofers to win the 26-mile, 385-yd. grind in 2:25:54. Second: Boston's defending champion, John J. Kelley...
