...Park Zoo four months after a U.S. district court ruled that segregation in the park was unconstitutional. The animal sale marked the end of Montgomery's park system, left the city's 45,000 Negro and white children without a public swimming pool, tennis court or woodland glade...
...fluidly mounted flashbacks, four separate versions of the event are re-enacted. Up to a point the facts jibe. A bandit (Rod Steiger) has stalked a passing samurai (Noel Willman) and his wife (Claire Bloom) through a bamboo glade, decoyed the husband with promises of buried loot, trussed him up, and raped his wife before his eyes. The samurai is later found dead. According to the bandit, the wife baited him into killing her husband to gain her. The wife swears she killed him to spare him dishonor. Through a medium, the dead samurai claims that he heartbrokenly committed suicide...
...ointment is 16-year-old Joss, senior daughter of the Greys. She and Eliot get the trembles whenever they brush shoulders-and Mlle. Zizi, a jealous old gentlewoman of at least 30, is beginning to brandish her falsies. Three-quarters of the way through her bee-loud glade, Author Godden starts dropping her surprises.

Morgan stares inscrutably through a Wall Street window, Josephine Baker struts her stuff at the U.S.-tourist-packed Folies-Bergère, Al Capone waddles contemptuously in and out of a courthouse, Babe Ruth rounds the bases, Lindy goes into a teetering take-off to make history...
...University presidents since John T. Kirkland, who died in 1810 (James Walker and Thomas Hill, the exceptions, repose elsewhere); and most important, we remained untouched by Mount Auburn's natural beauty which others have so enjoyed. No Euripides, no Ernest Hemingway. We just couldn't appreciate this gross slyvan glade speckled with gray Victorian masonry that the prospectus so proudly called "the City of the Dead." But then it was raining pretty hard.Edwin Booth, legendary figure of the American stage, lies not far from Spruce...
