Dick Lamm, 34, began his political career in 1966 by winning an at-large seat in the Colorado state legislature. A year later he introduced one of the first laws in the nation to legalize abortion where fetal deformity or psychological hazard is likely to occur. Though the bill passed, he later came to believe it was too moderate and persuaded the U.S. Supreme Court to declare it unconstitutional. Lamm led the successful fight against holding the 1976 Winter Olympics in Colorado. Now he is the man to beat for Colorado's 1974 Democratic gubernatorial nomination...
William has blocked the entire finale effectively, and the reuniting of the siblings is touching indeed. But he should not have allowed Antonio to misaccentuate "unhospitable" (Shakespeare's only use of the word), nor told him to substitute "hazard myself" for "expose myself." Similarly, he has permitted Sir Toby to stress the second syllable of "exquisite" and bidden him change "Sophy" to "Shah of Persia." Let's leave Shakespeare's text alone. When you start tinkering with obscure terms, where do you stop? The audience does not want to have gratings thrust upon...
Gesell retorted: "I don't think he understands the consequences of what he's doing. He thinks Mr. Frates' access raises some kind of hazard to the future of the nation. I just can't accept that." The judge then announced that he would soon issue another order. It is expected to give the President one more chance to provide the Ehrlichman files. If he fails to comply, Gesell could hold a hearing this week on whether the President should be cited for contempt of court. Presumably, no attempt would be made to fine or imprison...
...avenues. Which isn't too interesting, except that there's not much else to say about the Janus film festival running this week at the Harvard Square. With a couple of exceptions, there will be two solid masterpieces a day, so many miles of beautiful celluloid that the only hazard is OD-ing on quality. To shake the habit there's always High Plains Drifter, a reminder that the medium still has some problems. Eastwood may drive a locomotive through the saloon in this one, or annihilate some illegally immigrated Chicanos or something...
There is one thing to be said for golf. It gave the Oldest Member (alias P.G. Wodehouse, 92 and still spinning yarns on the clubhouse terrace) an excuse to look up from his lemonade and variously celebrate valor at the ninth-hole water hazard and the triumph of love over a fifteen handicap. These 31 stories, a Masters tournament of golfing tales, stretch gloriously from The Clicking of Cuthbert (1916) to Sleepy Time (1968) and pass such milestones as The Heart of a Goof and The Awakening of Rollo Podmarsh...
