...ugly duckling to beautiful swan becomes believable. As Paulie, her butcher brother who hates freezing himself in the meat house each morning and warming himself at the neighborhood bar each night, Burt Yound succeeds in explaining why the miserablesometimes don't give in. Perhaps best of all is Burgess Meredith, Rocky's manager. In a touching scene in Rocky's apartment, where the faces are flooded with an almost holy white light, Meredith, as a fighter who was never given a fair chance, gets from Stallone what the audience gets from the film--a reason to hope...
...cannot fail to observe that there is a feverish, guilty quality about a rigger named Boerth (William Atherton). The screenplay's attempts to generate a little mystery by introducing red herrings from the passenger manifest are laughable, since such worthies as Anne Bancroft, Gig Young and Burgess Meredith constitute nothing more than the customary ship of fools. It is hard to understand why Scott wastes time on them.

Tell me about the rabbits, George. At the Science Center (Lecture Hall B) on Friday and at Leverett House on Saturday, Of Mice and Men features Burgess Meredith (George) providing the explanations for Lon Chaney (Lenny) in this film adaptation of Steinbeck's short novel.

And also for those who like to argue whether the book was better, The Last Hurrah is at Lehman Hall this weekend. Most people think that's the name...
...program begins with an eight-minute chant during which the word cogitate is repeated incessantly. "After three or four minutes," says Actor Burgess Meredith, "people get bored and their brains begin to supply different words and entire sentences." Using this mind-bending opener, Meredith, 66, has been spreading the gospel of meditation to college campuses across the country. His two-hour routine features readings from Anthropologist Carlos Castaneda's Tales of Power, as well as music on a flute synthesizer and Tibetan oboe by Flutist Charles Lloyd. "It's heavy going," Meredith concedes, "but we've struck...
...fact, any suggestion that the building isn't being put to its best possible use make Charles Turner, who manages it for the Boston firm Meredith and Grew, a little defensive. "What do you expect?" Turner says. "This is not a first-class building, you know. This is an antiquity. The subway runs under it. There are structural problems." Tear it down? "Do you think everybody wants a high-rise in Harvard Square? Maybe this is the way trustees like to maintain it," Turner says...
