...seriousness, The Surface of the Earth is so much shadowboxing with the ghosts of a gothic past. Price assembles as pallid a clan of relatives as ever sipped juleps on the veranda. The Mayfields and the Kendals are first yoked together in 1903, when young Eva Kendal elopes with Forrest Mayfield, her high school Latin teacher. Piqued, Eva's mother commits suicide and leaves her a nasty letter. A son, Rob, is born, and Eva trots back home with him to care for her father in North Carolina. Forrest stays in Virginia, feeling sorry for himself and looking...
...involved in what our State Department does," says Rear Admiral Forrest Petersen, Task Force 60's commander, when asked about the fleet's potential role in any possible U.S. action against the Middle East oilfields. "We simply stand ready to follow orders." Petersen has no doubt that with the amount of weaponry now assembled in the Mediterranean, a pitched battle between U.S. and Soviet fleets, which no one expects, would be awesome in cost. "A conflict would be pretty bloody, no question about that. An awful lot of people would get hurt," he says. "But I am convinced...
Foote's scholarship is obviously extensive, but he is also a gifted storyteller and assembler of vignettes. He includes nice touches of grand illusion.

...PRODUCER, Alison Clarkson, has clearly perceived and expressed the pure dramatic entity which is Antigone, binding together and bound with a classical simplicity, unity and harmony. The simple, symmetrical set, designed by Gary S. Gluck, is exploited to its full by Forrest Stone's lighting, which catches the most delicate mood and tone changes in the script. In one small shaft of light illuminating her and her captor, Antigone spends her last living moments with the guard who arrested her. Here she realizes that, after all, she no longer knows why she is dying. Thirty years ago, in February...
...years, Western military experts have speculated that the Soviet Union was having problems with its 5,200-ton Kashin-class missile destroyers (comparable to the U.S. Navy's Forrest Sherman-class guided-missile destroyer). Last week Turkey's semiofficial Anatolian News Agency reported that in mid-September a Kashin -class vessel caught fire, exploded and turned into a burning inferno while on Red Fleet patrol in the Black Sea. Despite a frantic Soviet rescue effort, at least 225 crewmen and missile technicians aboard died in the mishap. It was the most shocking peacetime sea disaster since...
