...fans were innumerable then, matched only, perhaps, by his endless repertory of skills--his job, his right lead, his defense, his will power, his heart. That fight against Frazier was a ritual, with its strong, confident start, its painful and disillusioning middle, and its powerful, miraculous end. Ali used himself up that night. After the battle he said, "That was the closest thing to dying that I know...
LITERATURE IS LANGUAGE. Drama is personal contact. Though many times the twain meet nicely, certain books aren't meant to be spoken aloud, certain plays shouldn't be read. Reading a Moliere farce, for example, means condemning your mind to an endless purgatory of Punch-and-Judy beatings and convoluted accusations of cuckoldry. The lines aren't literary. By themselves, they're not even particularly funny. The play works as comedy only by transcending the meaningless quips to reach the lasting humor beneath...
...They should devise new options for mutual benefit. And they should rely on "objective criteria" in reaching compromises. Diplomats--of the household and international variety--who stick to these four rules can present "yesable propositions" to their adversaries, Fisher promises.

Obviously, diplomats at all levels should consider their adversaries' interests too; equally obviously, imaginative compromises are the best way to resolve disputes. But calling for innovation and hammering out a foresighted agreement are two vastly different things. Nothing shows better...
...formula, after two endless evenings, is clear: two dreary, realistic plays followed by a crowd-pleasing cartoon. One might feel sympathy if these were unknown, generally unproduced playwrights, but few of them are. (In the next program we'll see plays by David Mamet and actor Cliff Robertson.) This smacks of cowardice: the APS might have attracted a devoted following if it had produced good or at least ambitious plays by unknown playwrights rather than the poor scraps of the well-known. If artistic director Tom Bloom knows how bad two-thirds of these plays are but decided he needed...
There is only one thing worse than having a car towed away for parking violations: getting the automobile back after it has been taken by police. The process can consume an entire day and involve almost as much hassle and humbling as being drummed out of the regiment. Endless hours must be spent in lines leading to sometimes abusive traffic-court clerks who treat parking offenders as if they were homicide suspects. Policemen and judges often heap scorn on a miscreant. Tow-truck operators can be just as surly...
