...them, Hair, is in its 24th week. The other, which just opened, is Jean Anouilh's Cher Antoine. Any play by France's most widely performed modern playwright is bound to be bitingly witty and polished to a high gloss; this one, Anouilh's 28th, is even more so, and the critics were unreservedly delighted...
...Congratulations. Says Salzberg: "It wasn't just a front. We sold pictures, and the boys who worked for me didn't even know about the FBI.

Moreover, since Nosis knew about Ripple's heart condition, he could have reasonably anticipated that the threats were likely to result in death. Nosis was found guilty, and the Ohio Supreme Court has just upheld that verdict by refusing...
True to Life. More like a hippie commune than a country club, the abbey, under Dom Besret's direction, was open to everyone. Young and old, men and women, even non-Catholics, could freely come and go. When they met, they kissed each other three times on the cheek. Laymen helped prepare meals, tend the vegetable garden and the six cows. Prayers were informal and spontaneous, usually including references to world events and problems of the day. Dom Besret's message was simple: overcome all personal differences and become one people in love...
