Much can be forgiven a new magazine, and there is very little in the Boston Review that needs forgiving. Exposure to the rather shrill editorial introduction and the back cover ("The Boston Review is on the MOVE... Hasta la vista, sista) suggests that magazines should either say a great deal about themselves or very little; BR hasn't yet chosen between tendenz and taciturnity. When the magazine recovers from a slight touch of editorialisis, and develops a group of contributors that is distinctly its own, it will, in fact, be on the move. Hasta la vista, Charley. And Ferg...
...hard to imagine that a play called The Fainted Horse would have much of a box-office draw, but if the box office is in Paris and the playwright is Franchise Sagan, the title can be forgiven. The play, in fact, is Paris' biggest hit, and has precipitated a brand-new love affair between France and the eternally precocious Sagan...

...that the Orioles usually can hope for is to be remembered in September. They have not won a big-league pennant since 1896; they are the team that Mighty Casey struck out for; and they peddled Babe Ruth away for $2,900. Still, all those past transgressions will be forgiven this year, unless the Orioles find some curious new way to commit suicide. Last week, slightly past the halfway point of the 1966 season, they were leading the American League by a full seven games...
