...might just as well sit in the second row, for the standard collegiate hash will reach every corner of the theater, arousing smiles on an audience full of old-and new-timers with a weakness for the snaphappy sound. The Kroks rendition of "Blue Moon", along with its tortuous and ticklish bass line, was worth the price of admission, so if they program it this year, they'd do well to keep the concert short, and release you in time to see Casablanca, which should be leaving the Brattle very soon...
...Harlan County, USA, Barbara Kopple has produced a brilliant documentary about the people of the coalfields. The USA in the title is significant--to citizens of the Northeast, these hill people are as alien as citizens of the moon. Yet Kopple, a native New Yorker, has captured them and the life they lead with touching accuracy. Perhaps her job was made easier by the fact that people who work hard and suffer long have a shy, easy grace in front of a camera. But it's a painfully easy grace--born and nourished in suffering. Kopple takes us inside their...
...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.

Press demonstrated additional versatility by his involvement in the 1970 experiment in which a spent Saturn rocket, used to launch an Apollo mission, was crashed onto the moon. The resulting impact, measured by seismographs left on the lunar surface by earlier missions, enabled Press and his fellow seismologists to determine the characteristics of the moon's crust. In 1974 Press led a delegation of U.S. scientists on a tour of Chinese earthquake research centers and returned with the amazing news that the country had an army of 10,000 scientists and 100,000 amateurs engaged in collecting earthquake data...
Television: Marquee Moon (Elektra/Asylum). This group was one of the first, and is certainly the best exponent of punk rock. Its home is CBGB. a grotty Bowery bar that now exemplifies Lower Manhattan chic. There Tom Verlaine, who writes Television's lyrics, delivers raw, jabbing vocals in a declamatory, prepsychotic style similar to Patti Smith's. It is Richard Lloyd's nervy, blues-tinged guitar, however, that gives this band its distinctive sound. Lloyd has the potential to become a major spokesman for rock guitar. Joan Downs
