...years of percolating is better than instant," says one actress. Having done 30 productions (predominantly classical) since its start, the APA is now a well-integrated, well-trained troupe, one-third of whom have been in the company all five years. They are beginning to reflect Rabb's maxim that a rep company should be made up not of chameleon-like actors but of a group of stars who leave their individual mark on each role...
...power hitters: Harmon Killebrew (.270, 49 homers), Tony Oliva (.323, 32 homers), Bob Allison (.287, 32 homers), Jimmie Hall (.283, 24 homers), and Earl Battey (.272, 12 homers). But the Twins had all these sluggers last year, and still finished in sixth place, a living testimony to the maxim that pitching is 75 per cent of baseball. Only Camilo Pascual (15-12) and Jim Kaat (17-11) had decent seasons, and unless Minnesota comes up with another reliable pitcher, they won't be able to finish higher than fifth...

"Your Honor, I don't feel that this man, in eight or ten minutes, can defend me," Maidonado protested, after a court had assigned a Legal Aid Society lawyer to handle his latest trial for burglary. "I want to act as my own attorney." The judge refused the request. Maldonado wound up in Sing Sing prison. But U.S District Judge Charles H. Tenney granted Maldonado a conditional writ of habeas corpus...
...Outside the church there is no salvation" is a venerable teaching that Roman Catholic theologians are trying to forget in the ecumenical age. Perhaps the only priest who takes the maxim literally is outside the church himself: the Rev. Leonard Feeney, 67, a defrocked Jesuit who in the '30s and '40s was one of the nation's best-known Catholic theological popularizers and convert seekers. Feeney was excommunicated in 1953 for disobeying his religious superiors and refusing to accept a Holy Office decision that non-Catholics who worshiped God in good faith could be saved...
