...love life, if any, has been discreetly concealed. At a Trinity ball last year, Charles unbent sufficiently, as one observer put it, "to seem intent on kissing an attractive blonde named Cindy, even in the fast dances." The pursued lass was Cynthia Buxton, a fellow student and daughter of one of Prince Philip's birdwatching companions. Charles also was seen occasionally with Sibylla Dorman, a tall, pretty history student whose father is Governor-General of Malta. "We get on very well," says Sibylla, but she refuses to be labeled a "girl friend." Generally, Charles dates friends of Princess Anne...
...neutral, that sends missionaries to teach innocent people living comfortably in warm climates to be shameful of their bodies-which, paradoxically, are made in the image of God -it is refreshing to read of the new morality, which, new or old, was always concerned with the whole man, his intent, not merely his flesh. The days of busybodies and social cancers with boots up to their knees and collars up to their ears are hopefully numbered...
...poets and painters have discovered over the centuries, hell is far more dramatic than heaven. Most painters look with an equal eye on both, as the fancy moves them. But some few, and among them some of the great, have had an ob session for the ugly, and seemed intent on making it uglier. Like T. S.

In a time when many artists have become so detached that they try to banish the figure al together, and sculptors can order their works from the nearest hardware...
Director Michael Kahn puts the sig nature of his determined intent on the play from the outset. An improvisatory prologue serves as a metaphor for the work. In sweatshirts, football jerseys and dungarees, members of the cast drib ble a basketball, wrestle, somersault and shadowbox. Someone pumps back and forth on a child's swing. The seat of that swing will later serve as Harry of Monmouth's throne. The rising intensity of sticks beaten rapidly together, a rhythmic tapestry of violence, suggests a neighborhood gang rumble. One knows in one's slightly chilled bones that this...
...director like John Ford, if he thought this tedious two-hour tale worth the telling, could have done it in a tight ninety minutes. Leone spends most of his time focusing on the actors' eyes squinting tensely into the camera lens. The intent is operatic, but the effect is soporific. Stuck in this gluepot horse opera, such veteran range hands as Henry Fonda, Claudia Cardinale and Keenan Wynn struggle helplessly and often hysterically. But the picture, such as it is, belongs to Charles Bronson. A flinty character actor who has appeared in everything from The Great Escape...
