...meadow near Eureka, Calif., on the state's rocky northern coast, 50 Yurok Indians gathered for an unusual ritual. After three younger members of the tribe hollowed out a bit of earth, a Yurok leader reverentially placed seven bags in the hole. Ella Norris, 83, the tribe's oldest member, moved forward. Raising her eyes toward the sky, she said a prayer in English and in the language of her forebears: "We are sorrowful for the sacrilegious actions of the past. May these remains lie peacefully at rest forever...
Pavilion has unfolded delicate wings, embracing thrice-weekly crowd pullers ranging from Yehudi Menuhin and the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra to Ella Fitzgerald, Judy Collins and the Lettermen. The city's surprisingly lively local theater scene encompasses the 1,800-seat Morris A. Mechanic Theater, the city-renovated Center Stage Theater, the Arena Players, one of the oldest black theatrical groups in the country, and half a dozen smaller companies. An eight-mile subway is due to open in 1982. A handsome 500-room Hyatt Regency Hotel has arisen on the harbor's edge...
...hard time in the Old West for Jim Averill (Kris Kristofferson). Any marshal would have his hands full in 1890s Wyoming trying to forestall a range war between the evil cattlemen and the noble but fractious settlers.

No such luck: Ella has baked a pie for her beau. "It took me a whole day to make it," she purrs, "So you eat all of it." With courtly resignation, Jim takes...
...painstaking drip irrigation. Collective farmers like those of Moshav Sadot are demanding at least half of the estimated $2.2 billion-or 13% of the 1981 national budget-that Israel has set aside as compensation for the Sinai settlers. But even that will not console all of them. Says Ella Weizman, 31, who sits tensely with her husband Vito in the comfortable living room of their farm home: "We came to nothing, and we made something out of it. You can't pay for the soul and the dreams we put into this place...
Serfs Up's company has fewer stand-outs than last year's, and more cohesion. For voice, I'd single out Willis Emmons' Ella Gittamette and John Stimpson's Duncan Donutt; for acting, John Sheehan's vulpine queen, Lady Fingers, and Benajah Cobb's Anna Cleavage--whose voice, however, was inaudible in several songs. But certainly the group numbers--like the worker's chorus, "Contract Diseases"--shined more than any individual performance, and the chorus singing throughout was intelligible and invigorating...
