...Levitt--who, by the way, is obviously well acquainted with the French touch--overcomes the problem of space, which could be acute if any of his fine company were claustrophobic. And it is a fine company. Robin Ramsay, as La Brige in Article 330, is a lithe-limbed and limber-tongued Australian who gives the part a cockney gusto which it lacks in the original, improving from time to time on Professor Barzun's stiffish translation and livening it up with sparks of "business" of which Courteline would have approved, I am sure.

Under the watchful eye of Tennessee State's Track Coach Willie Stevens, Boston plunged last year into a 90-minute-daily practice ritual that included high jumping (to strengthen his legs) and hurdling (to keep his body muscles limber). He patterned his jumping style after that of 1956 Olympic Champion Greg Bell. "The technique I use," says Boston, "is called 'walking in the air.' It is just like running in the air. I take three and a half steps in the air before I land." He practiced stretching his arms high above his head to force...
