...Apollo & Grope Leaves. After Epidaurus, the North Wind headed for the gemlike isle of Poros and a postcard panorama of lemon trees, whitewashed buildings, and brightly colored caïques in the harbor. The Greek government cut Delos, the island where Apollo was born, off from the outside world for a day, so that Jackie could enjoy its rubbled splendors alone. At Mykonos, an island with a population of 5,000 and 333 churches, every wall in the capital city, and even the cobblestoned streets, had been given a fresh coat of whitewash. In a tavern in Hydra, Jackie enthusiastically...
Free Fall. Before he has properly begun to hope, Wink begins to grope-with Virginia's wrist watch-at the local beach club. The assembled giddy-biddies pick the pair's backbones in whispers. But love, naturally, has wax in its ears. Novelist Ham knows the language lovers speak, a pottage of mush and banalities, and he is not above using it.

Five boys and one girl horse around on a rooftop, spelling out the amoral communal sex of the tenements. A Negro boy and a white girl grope through their loneliness, reaching out with palms that never quite touch. The whole show adds up to the first hit of the fall season. At 39, Dance Master Jerry is still making the guests happy...
...Williams, Brooks has a rare playwright who can make his static electric, and a blinkered grope toward the past as suspenseful as a headlong crash into the future. Maggie the Cat (played with surprising sureness by Elizabeth Taylor) is young, beautiful, childless; her hot tin roof is the marital bed no longer shared by her husband Brick (Paul Newman), a onetime college athlete now tying on the booze bag every night in search of the "click in my head." Together they have come back to Big Daddy's "28,000 of the richest acres west of the River Nile...
