INADMISSIBLE EVIDENCE is a compulsively fascinating 2½-hour dramatic typhoon in which John Osborne's voice-splenetic, grieving, raging-is heard with more furious personal intensity than at any time since Look Back in Anger. As a defeated solicitor for whom life in the modern world has become a playing field of pain, Nicol Williamson, 28, gives a performance of epic dimensions and phenomenal resourcefulness...
...turned once again to the life of action. He has confessed to being "nostalgically for Stevenson, ideologically for Humphrey, and realistically for Kennedy." Fortunately for his future, realism won out. Kennedy, vacationing on the Cape at Hyannis Port, invited him for intimate dinners and sought his counsel. Stevensonians were furious, accused him of being a "turncoat opportunist" who had made "peace with the enemy." His wife announced that she was still for Adlai ("Can't you control your own wife," wrote Bobby Kennedy, "or are you like me?"). His mother was too, but the stately, grey-haired lady shrugged...
Play was fast, furious, and rough, right from the start. The puck moved from one end of the ice to the other as fast and consistently as a tennis ball. Northeastern's goalie Gary Thornton looked unbeatable, and when Husky defenseman George Campbell scored from the point at 14:50 of the first period, few Harvard fans could see where a triumph could come from...

No matter how scrupulously residential areas are avoided, bombing Hanoi (pop. 650,000) and Haiphong (375,000) would certainly cause civilian casualties-and a U.S. propaganda setback. Blasting the docks or mining the harbor at Haiphong would provoke furious protests from America's allies, who have hauled some 100 shiploads of cargo there so far this year. Air raids might also stiffen rather than weaken morale on the ground, as happened in both Britain and Germany during World War II. Nor would the destruction of its industrial plant necessarily...
...France would not support the American demand for fishing rights. Shelburne, sensing an opportunity to divide his enemies, discreetly apprised the Americans of what the French had said. Franklin was ill at the time and Adams happened to be in Amsterdam, so Jay got the message and he was furious. He had also discovered that Spain, with French compliance, intended in the peace treaty to limit the U.S. to a narrow strip of territory along the Atlantic coast and to take everything west of the Appalachians for itself. It was clear, Jay concluded, that France regarded its alliance with...
