...that are designed to give Whitey the message about Black Power, he is more of a bore than a bombshell after the antics of the five clowns. The entire cast has been with the play since the beginning-including a four-month run in Los Angeles' embattled Watts district. Their three years together have paid off in the fine, comic ensemble playing that all but counteracts the soporific effect of big Buck White and his preachment...

The complaint charges IBM with 37 violations of the Sherman Act, accuses the company of "coercing," "interfering," "intimidating" and "exploiting." Among other things, Control Data asserts that IBM sold or leased some models at a loss to hinder competition, that it interfered in its customers' negotiations with competitors, and that it was guilty of "misrepresenting the status and performance" of its own prematurely announced...
