...Apple Tree is based on three stories by Mark Twain, Frank R. Stoekton and Jules Feiffer, but any trace of these authors' original intent has been systematically expunged in the adaptation by Jerry Bock and Sheldon Hamick. The first segment. "The Diary of Adam and Eve," describes the problems of setting up the world's very first household. These problems, however, are in significant when compared to Eve's (Debby Rayson's) inability to find a register in which her troublesome voice will be content to stay. Eve weasels her way into Adam's hut, and finally into his heart...
...they are shot from what appears to be a random, arbitrary view, as one would happen upon something while walking down a street. This "snapshot" approach has become the vogue in recent years with such photographers as Bill Eggleston, Lee Friedlander, Diane Arbus, and, to some extent, Robert Frank, and these last three are, indeed, the photographers Evans named as his favorite young photographers. In his humble, gentlemanly manner--he even asked the audience's permission to be seated--he seemed loath to discuss his "competitors" further for fear of becoming "invidious," or "unethical...
...Hampshire, supporters of the regional primary think their idea can streamline a system that is growing increasingly unwieldy. There are already 30 primaries scheduled for next year-seven more than in 1972 -and primaries to be held on the same day are often widely scattered.

Establishing regional primaries would also ensure candidates' visiting more states than they might otherwise...
Questioned Policy. Although the bullets and bombs are rarely aimed at British troops these days (233 have been killed in Ulster but only one this year), British Army Commander Lieut. General Sir Frank King has openly questioned Rees' policy of releasing I.R.A. suspects detained without trial (230 out of 576 internees have been sprung). While this policy is the key to the truce, a British officer said last week: "We have always been cynical about it. The Proves will maintain the cease-fire to get as many of their men released as possible and then start again after...
...youthful fantasies of athletic and literary glory ripened into alcoholism, two ruined marriages, three stints in state mental institutions. For winters on end, he remembered, all that kept him lurching from Sunday to Sunday was an obsession with pro football and the exploits of New York Giant Halfback Frank Gifford, a classmate at the University of Southern California. To Exley, 45, Gifford's triumphant career provided weekly proof of his own status as an All-America flop...
