Davis contracted with Doubleday in 1969 to write a novel about two women who, in search of something missing in their lives, attend a "nude encounter workshop." As part of her research, Davis spent 20 hours at the Los Angeles center where Bindrim pioneered the "nude marathon," a therapy in which participants strip naked to gather in a pool, where they spend long periods talking and touching. Bindrim, 59, describes this as a way to teach people "how to be more open toward one another and to relate in a more authentic and satisfying manner." When Davis' book appeared...
...role of the marathon man of the chamber field can become confining, and too much Baroque music, as Marriner says, "is like being in a sewing machine factory." A few years ago, he began taking more and more engagements with symphonic ensembles. Conducting orchestras such as the Concertgebouw, the Boston Symphony and the French National Orchestra, he decided that what he had learned with chamber orchestras "translated very well into the symphonic world."

Sellars has turned his actors into marathon runners moving--not always smoothly--through their paces. Admirably, he has tried to mesh an Elizabethan notion of the play with an ill-defined space-age concept. He successfully holds to many 16th Century traditions but engulfs them with gadgets and gimmickry...
...nearly three months he met regularly and secretly with top executives at each of the three commercial networks, hearing their offers, learning their plans. The process involved quiet breakfasts in obscure restaurants, drinks and dinner in one suitor's apartment and marathon conversations in hotel rooms. "I find myself in a long final glide path," he said last week. "Three runways are stretched out before me. All three are beautiful. I could land on any one and be extremely happy...
