...GREAT WHITE HOPE. James Earl Jones exudes enormous vitality as the tragic hero of Howard Sackler's play, which is based on the triumphs and trials of Jack Johnson, the first Negro heavyweight champion. The drama has the scope of a minor saga, but Edwin Sherin has directed it as if it were a stampede; all decibels and no deftness...

In treating patients, Dr. Alston has found that the causes go far beyond the experience of a particularly rough flight. "It has always been a multiple thing," he says. For a few, the fear may result from a death in the family resulting from an air crash. For others, the airplane may represent separation-from both the ground and loved ones. Deep feelings of guilt often play...
