...revolts and ghetto riots-seem to have emerged first in California. Moreover, since the Free Speech Movement started at Berkeley in 1964, the Bay Area has been a festering center for radical political activity, though the number of people involved has greatly declined since the leftist movement's heyday during the Viet Nam War. Thus the events of September 1975 seemed to reinforce the area's reputation as a hothouse for kooks and revolutionaries...
...biographer, "It would be impossible for me to leave the priesthood." And his defection would undoubtedly come as a shock to his loyally pious fans, many of whom presumably associate priestly dropouts with apostasy. Unlike many liberals, however, Lyons is following the proper rules for leaving. In his heyday, Lyons was a formidable figure in conservative Catholicism. With Schick Razor King Patrick Frawley, Lyons started Twin Circle in 1967, served as its editor and got Frawley to take over the Register in 1970. He also raised money from conservatives to buy the 77-year-old priests' monthly, Homiletic...
...friends, Anthony ("Tony Jack") Giacalone, 56, who has been identified as a top henchman of Joseph Zerilli, the godfather of the Detroit Mafia. Hoffa had reportedly gone to Machus Red Fox Restaurant last Wednesday to have lunch with Giacalone, although Giacalone denied any such plan. In Hoffa's heyday, the Teamsters were so often linked to the Mob that a Senate committee once concluded that a criminal record was a "prerequisite" for "advancement in the Teamsters firmament." Police were also interested in Giacalone because he was close not only to Hoffa but to Frank Fitzsimmons...
...cash crunch has less to do with inflation and recession than with indifference and resistance in Washington. C.R.L.A. is one of 269 local legal-services programs created after 1965 by the now extinct federal Office of Economic Opportunity. In OEO's heyday, its young lawyers lustily sued local authorities across the U.S. on behalf of poor clients, and smarting officials went raging to Washington to throttle the federally funded upstarts. When the Nixon Administration began dismantling the OEO during the early '70s, legal services began to atrophy. But the successes of the OEO lawyers so outweighed their excesses...
Jauchem's idea for adapting The Point for the stage was conceived at a time when rock musicals were enjoying a heyday. But it has taken almost four years to materialize, and during that time characters like the saccharine, boyish Oblio have left the stage and gone the way of Godspell. And even if rock operas were not bygones. The Point offers little that's original in the way of either choreography or music--two areas where the story might have been able to benefit from live production. The mime is for the most part strictly traditional and basic; there...
