...final moral conflict dance like and played so badly that you actually oppose the hero's crowning heroics. Yet it is, particularly for director Hill's first effort, stunning to look at. Bleached New Orleans pink and plaster white, lush Cajun greens. But mostly a million browns-browns that dwarf humans in the bulk of an industrial life that has left them out. The empty oyster-processing factory where Bronson fights among discarded shells is piled with hues of lifelessness; a shoeshine and a buck-and-wing echo eerily in a world where people only gather...
...fielded calls from other player representatives, mediators, owners and his teammates on one yellow wall phone in the kitchen of his home in Canton, Mass., south of Boston. Downing Cokes by the dozen to keep awake, the short (5 ft. 10 in.) pass catcher and onetime Snow White dwarf at Disneyland went on a 24-hour schedule.

In rust hues the sky descended upon her forlorn tracts, swallowing puny hamlets: a cafe, a grocery store, a gas station, a truckstop, a few shacks, 200 people--all in white; and blistering vacant roads.

Whatever the timetable it was clear, as many Southeast Asia experts have long said, that a united Viet Nam could be the dominant power of the area. With a combined population of about 43 million, it would dwarf neighboring Laos and Cambodia and be larger than Thailand (pop. 41 million). During a generation of continuous warfare, the North Vietnamese and their Viet Cong allies clearly proved themselves to be among the best-trained and best-equipped fighters in the world. The North Vietnamese army of 570,000 is four times as large as that of Thailand. In swiftly conquering...
Throughout the play we are barraged with creations like the horse that individually reflect great imagination but together conspire to break the play's rhythm and dwarf the actors' role. The designers, Peter Agoos and Franco Colavecchia, have produced aluminum trees that quality as sculpture but prove unwieldy and stunning wire masks for the stereotyped foreign companions aboard Peer's yacht that reveal their national character but muffle their voices...
