...about all that A Tale Told does make clear. Talley's Folly was a slight but charming romance, a one-act waltz for two characters. Fifth of July, which is still running on Broadway, is the hilarious but moving story of the Talleys today, with Kenneth, the inheritor of that big house, coming to terms with the fact that he left both legs behind in Viet Nam. But the newest play, which should have been the first, chronologically, just meanders, with no discernible destination. A telegram announces the death of Timmy, for instance, and Timmy's ghost (David...
...Brownlow, a talented English film historian (The Parade's Gone By, Hollywood: the Pioneers), who spent a decade painstakingly collecting bits and pieces of film. It is appropriate, perhaps inevitable, that Brownlow's work should be presented by Francis Ford Coppola (The Godfather, Apocalypse Now), a modern inheritor of the epic tradition.

Not to be outdone, a Krueger aide recently sent an article to newspaper editors all over the state which insinuates that Tower is a womanizer who likes his whiskey. The ploy so incensed Tower that he canceled four joint T.V. appearances with Krueger, claiming that his rival is "uninhibited by the truth." Last week Tower refused to shake hands with Krueger, who has yet to apologize for the mailing of the article. That's serious business...
