...before going down," Park said yesterday. On the other hand, however, the squad returned with several new question marks, such as Dave St. Pierre, who pulled a hamstring the second day out and may be lost for up to two weeks.

...part of a set of three short plays in which Coward starred in London in 1966. The curtain-raiser, Come into the Garden, Maud, is a fast five-finger exercise about a middle-aged American millionaire in Europe and his vile, blue-haired wife, whose hobby is collecting titled Europeans.

...worked with him in seven plays, describes his performances as "very physical." Nowhere is that physical vocabulary more apparent than in his portrayal of Julian Weston. Neither obtrusively limp-wristed nor so-straight-you'd-never-know-he-was-one, Moriarty captures Julian with a slightly fluttering finger, a momentarily stuttering step, the almost imperceptible lift of his chin. It was not easy to accept the role of a homosexual, he confesses, "because it deals with an area of yourself you don't normally have to deal with." But, he reasoned, if he let his reluctance stop...
