...wanderings, Onassis is only a superficial sophisticate. His humor has a peasant strain. One of his favorite jokes describes "the noisiest thing in the world?two skeletons making love on a tin roof." A hardheaded Scotch drinker (only at night), he has smashed upwards of $700 worth of crockery in bouzouki establishments, and has been known to snore in a La Scala opera box during a Callas première. Even his fellow Greek shipping kings long dismissed him as a crude upstart. Says one acquaintance: "He was trash to some Greeks, the way old Joe Kennedy was trash to some...
...began perhaps his best-known work, Snow Country, in 1934 and did not consider it completed until 1947. A bittersweet, erotic story of the doomed affair of a deteriorating geisha and a Tokyo dilettante, the novel shows Kawabata at his best, sensually describing the darker aspects of life, suffering, love and death. Both Snow Country and the later, highly praised Thousand Cranes have been published in the U.S. and Europe. But many of his score of novels are barely known abroad...

...play showed itself to be an anemic polemic against the war in Viet Nam, with little wit and less sting. Playwright Joseph Heller, of Catch-22 fame, has since cut and word-fiddled, but the show is basically the same on Broadway, only worse. In New Haven, the love-affair subplot was handled by Stacy Keach and Estelle Parsons. Keach looked virile and hungry, and Parsons had the amiably battered pliancy of a girl who knows she isn't getting any younger. As a result, the affair had a certain cozy credibility. On Broadway, these roles are played...
