Work in fields and Bible study in his hut occupy most of his time, though Baar relieves the routine by reading farm magazines, working with livestock, playing with German Shepherd dogs that he is breeding as future Seeing Eye dogs for blind patients. Sometimes he paddles in the sea in a native canoe or chugs by outboard motorboat to nearby Talampulan, where he can talk to the 13 U.S. coast guardsmen stationed there. When Christmas comes, Baar will spend the day at Talampulan, for he feels that he will be better prepared to carry on his lonely life...
Picturing a rootless, tangled world. Playwright Gazzo has an ear for the harsh and guttural, an eye for the tarnished and messy, and too much of a mind for both. So crammed is his scene with lives near precipices and gutters as to cry out for someone merely in a rut. His people, as they talk and philosophize, become embarrassingly florid.

Organization Man King rules by delegating authority to able associates, e.g., brash Editorial Director Hugh Cudlipp, ironing out differences, keeping a sharp eye on the ledger.

Critic Scott's proposal to brighten the Sun: "More deep reporting and vivid writing, the sort of thing that will grab the reader by the lapels and command his attention." Last September Scott got a chance to put up or shut up; Sun Publisher Don Cromie, 43, called...
When Chuck Wood Jr., 17, first caught sight of the Aberdeen-Angus calf on his father's Iowa farm 14 months ago, his practiced eye told him it had the build of a potential champ. He exclaimed "Holy cow!" The calf, duly named Holy Cow, was given to Wood to care for. Last week, Holy Cow, grown to a 925-lb. steer, won the grand championship in the Chicago International Livestock Exposition. Wood collected $1,010 in prize money, plus $23,125 from Restaurant Owner Howard Johnson Jr. who bought the steer at auction and will...
