KING LEAR. Lee J. Cobb gives the finest performance of his career in this revival by the Lincoln Center Repertory Company. His portrayal of the blind, incurably foolish Lear has an all-involving humanity from which an audience cannot withhold some of its deepest emotions...
...children who distinguished themselves as composers, referred to him as "the Old Wig." Today, of course, Bach is universally ranked among the transcendent creators of Western civilization. Choral works that he turned out for rowdy schoolboys to sing in drafty provincial churches are cherished by the world's finest choruses.

Kwalick is heralded by one scout as "probably the finest tight end since Mike Ditka came out of Pittsburgh." He can go deep for a pass, and once he has the ball "turns upfield and just knocks somebody over. He'll not out-nifty anybody, but with his size he bowls over the de fense like duckpins." Some scouts say Kwalick will have to learn a bit more about blocking to become a real pro star. Sellers...
