Sanderson and his agent fight their way into the jubilant locker room later, and arrange to meet Duke at the Hub, a downtown discotheque. There, the fateful relationship begins. Duke, the future professional star, meets Sherri, the Ontario Melanie. If you saw Love Story, you know the rest. The Maple Leafs, desperate for a forward who can breathe some life into their faltering team, draft Duke as their first choice, and thanks to some crafty bargaining by Sanderson's agent, agree to sign him to a $120,000 contract for two years. Sherri, meanwhile, has progressed above the club circuit...
...Guard fanatics and factory workers that occurred anywhere in China during the peak of the Cultural Revolution in 1967. Today it is slower, far less cosmopolitan, and a bit more relaxed and friendly than dour Peking or supercharged Shanghai. The Communist regime has turned the city into an industrial hub, but the factories are mercifully screened from view by groves of trees. TIME Correspondent Jerrold Schecter, who was permitted by Peking to stay behind in China after President Nixon's departure, visited the Yangtze River city of 1.5 million last week. His report...
General Motors' Lordstown, Ohio, plant is a hub of superlatives. Its assembly line is the most highly automated one in the industry; it has 26 bellows-like armed robots that can bend around corners and that make some 520 welds in each car. The line is also the fastest in the U.S., capable of producing 100 cars an hour. The labor force-long-haired, pigtailed and bell-bottomed-is the youngest of any G.M. plant, with an average age of 24 to 25. Now Lordstown, the only U.S. plant that turns out subcompact Vegas, has the industry...
...Exit is a masterful work. Its greatest value lies in how the philosophical and the dramatic fit together; Sartre can sell his own peculiar brand of existentialism and still have a tightly written dramatic statement. The Hub Theatre is aware of the danger of philosophic overkill; they fortunately let Sartre's philosophy stand unaided. But No Exit as drama is a strong play, demanding strong acting and strong direction. With one exception, the Hub fails to provide this strength...
What happens in the Hub production is that the three condemned play isolated from each other. Although the characters must meet their fates on their own, Sartre's play requires a community of desperation: Yes, they are in hell, yes, they are in hell forever, yes, they are in hell forever together. When Garcin says at the end, "Well, let's get on with it..."it should be clear to the audience that this is the only choice they have, that there is nothing else they can do. Instead, it sounds like an invitation to the cast-audience discussion afterwards...
