Three received prison sentences of three to four years; the other four received suspended sentences. In addition, the court awarded Claudia token damages of $3,300, pending a civil suit that will determine the final award. Before the defendants were ushered out of the courtroom, Judge Mario Lupi issued a final admonition: "To those of you who will now go free, I want to say this: remember that the feminine world, so proximately and dangerously attractive, is also the world of your mothers and sisters and must have all your respect. Therefore I never want to see you here again...
...confusion reigned in front of the Pru and no one seemed to realize that Bally, a short man with dark skin and a moustache, had placed second in the 81st running of this classic foot race. The Associated Press, for example, in its first bulletin decided Bally was actually Mario Cuevas, a Mexican runner who finished second in 1976. Cynics would say that to most Americans a Turk looks like a Mexican, but Bally did have a half-moon and star on his racing jersey, which is hardly a Mexican emblem.

...without any of last year's side effects. And 1974 victor Neil Cusak will lead a group of Irish runners (Mick Molloy, Danny McDavid, Jim McNamara) in this star-studded field. Others to watch include Tom Fleming of Bloomfield, N.J., who twice has finished second, Mexico's Mario Cuevas and Toronto's Jerome Drayton (2:10.08 lifetime best).

In That Girl (1966), Mario Thomas played a single girl in New York City making her career, but always Mom and Dad hovered; her independence was somehow merely cute, a phase. In MTM, Mary Richards-Moore's character-gave a humanely plausible version of American women-some American women-in the early and mid-'70s. Not many, of course, are as lovely as Mary or as funny. She was single, independent, pursued her career, was interested in men but not in an obsessive, husband-trapping way. Many women...
Unamusing Neurotics. The marital combatants are Mario Thomas and Charles Grodin, and the casus belli is their upward social mobility. He has become the headmaster of a fashionable Manhattan private school; she is still teaching in a public school in a slum. He is very pleased with their new high-rise apartment; she is so displeased that she has sent their antique furniture to their first apartment on the Lower East Side, in the neighborhood where they grew up. He is glumly preoccupied with getting and spending, she with gaminish stratagems designed to break through his fagade of indifference. None...
