...events in Sarajevo by new contributor Anna Husarska. Yet tradition has not been entirely scrapped: see Roger Angell's valedictory to Fay Vincent, recently decapitated commissioner of baseball. Miraculously, after a long arid spell the cartoons are funny again -- particularly those by Lee Lorenz, Danny Shanahan and Leo Cullum ('This is my husband, Greg, and Greg's jacket from a previous marriage...
...never seen so much under one roof," says Martha Mason, a homemaker visiting Hypermart USA. "I could spend days in here." Sam Walton certainly hopes so. The founder and chairman of booming Wal-Mart discount stores opened his first Hypermart USA last December as a joint venture with the Cullum retail chain. Last week he opened a second in Topeka. "It's a test," says Walton, whose 1,114 Wal-Marts are generally a third the size of the Hypermarts. But as he tells his troops, "I'm more excited about this than anything in the history of our company...
...theater world last week honored the team's legacy in a memorial for Lerner, who died of lung cancer on June 14 at age 67. Some 1,500 people gathered at Broadway's Shubert Theater for an 80-minute service of anecdotes, reminiscences and, above all, songs.

If life has so disappointed Huck and Tom, the epitomes of hope, how can a spectator not be plunged into pessimism about his own unfulfilled ambitions? The execution is not quite so imaginative as the premise. Tom (John Cullum) and Huck (George C. Scott) are both using assumed names, so it takes a long, creaky while for them to acknowledge each other as they circle the riverbank lookout of Michael Miller's evocatively sylvan set. Their reminiscences are not rich enough: it would help if they had led more...
...individualist and a true obsessive, altogether capable of having turned into a bookish Bible thumper. Tom was a rule bender and a blamer of others, entirely likely to feel self-pity rather than remorse for the sexual crimes Sabath attributes to him. This plausibility is enhanced by masterly acting. Cullum ingratiatingly wheedles, brays and whines as Sawyer. As Huck, Scott combines the stern propriety of the convert to civilization with the lone wolf's fearsome force of nature. W.A.H...
