WHAT DID WE DO WRONG? A ponderous put-down of the contemporary foibles of young and old falls on its face as it peers into the generation gap. Devotees of Paul Ford may be amused by their idol in a hippie getup, but others will consider Wrong? more absurd than theater...
HENRY, SWEET HENRY lured theatergoers into picking up $400,000 worth of tickets in advance of its opening. These venture-capitalists have a dismally disenchanting evening in store for them.

Quick, now! Snap those wrists!" For 30 minutes it continued before Yaztrzemski was sat isfied. "Tomorrow," he said, "I'm gonna get three hits...
