...explain all this because it relates strongly to my reaction to The Three Sisters , which opened on the Loeb mainstage Thursday night. As I entered the theatre, I was just not in any condition to function as a journalist: I was physically exhausted and emotionally pre-occupied. In this context, maybe you can understand how remarkable it is to me that Leland Moss's production of the Chekhov play not only kept me awake for its entire three-and a-quarter hour duration-but sometimes even succeeded in making me forget everything else except what the actors on stage were...
...leaves the assembly hall, he is viciously clubbed by hired assassins as a truck simultaneously brushes past him. Three days later, without regaining consciousness, he dies. Officials immediately offer smug condolences about the "regrettable traffic accident." But a few bits of offal stick to the whitewash. A journalist coaxes a witness into a confession; an alibi springs an irreparable leak. The incorruptible public prosecutor (Jean-Louis Trintignant) remains unswayed by police and government threats. Ascending clues like the rungs of a ladder, he finally commands a chilling view of the assassination: Greece is a sunstruck nightmare, its police and army...
While reporters fumed, Monsignor Fausto Vallainc, head of the Vatican press office, excused the standards as "merely a rephrasing of the old rules."

Reacting at least partially to unfavorable reviews of his book, The Making of a President, 1968, White attacked the "increasing concentration of the cultural pattern of the U.S. in fewer hands. You can take a compass with a one-mile radius and put it down at the corner of Fifth Avenue and 51st Street in Manhattan and you have control of 95% of the entire opinion-and influence-making in the U.S." On William F. Buckley's TV program, Firing Line, White...
...Roald is a muted account of her remarkable recovery, written by a journalist-now a columnist for LIFE -who came for a magazine story and stayed to research a book. In the process he became an intimate friend of Miss Neal and her husband, the English short-story and film writer Roald Dahl. As a comeback saga, Barry Farrell's book fulfills the function of encouraging the stricken. As a family chronicle it has an attraction as unsettling as some of Dahl's own bizarre stories...
