...Milo Stephens Jr., a 19-year-old with a long history of emotional disturbance, threw himself into the path of a subway train as it pulled into a station on Manhattan's East Side. One of the cars ran over him, severing a leg, one arm and part of the other. Several months later his family retained Aaron Broder, an enterprising personal-injury lawyer, who sued the New York City Transit Authority for negligence. Broder acknowledged that Stephens had put himself at risk by jumping, but he was prepared to try to prove that the motorman had been negligently...
...however, it is still, by the standards of most musicals, very good indeed. Nicholas Wyman is a delightfully silly Freddy Eynsford-Hill, the bumbling aristocrat who falls in love with Eliza at Ascot and thereafter spends most of his time burbling love songs on the street where she lives.

As Opposition Whip Moshe Shahal was assailing the Begin government for "setting new world records for inflation, stock market speculation and emigration of Israelis abroad," a heckler broke in. It was Likud Member Ronni Milo, pointing to the visitors' gallery. "Yes," he shouted sarcastically, "we've brought this country to such a state that there's an Egyptian delegation in the gallery." Deadpanned Shahal: "Because of their presence, I crossed out a lot of things I would otherwise have said...
Mass Appeal. Bill C. Davis' drama sets an ardent seminarian on fire for the Lord against his mentor, a burntout, aging priest who has lost his vocation in complacency, Milo O'Shea etched the old priest on the canvas of indelible theatrical memories...
