...million other things, but the cookbook crowd tried frantically to answer this question, because the only anchor they could find in this plotless, characterless, messageless mass was that Nashville was about "America." America is very big this summer, maybe, but it's a frustrating theme for people accustomed to motion pictures telling them what to think. They find themselves babbling absurdly when they try to talk about it, often because they can't face what the film keeps making them fear...
...steady 20-game winner ever since. Luis has got style. Roger Angell of the New Yorker has called him "the archeologist" (because he picks up the ball and looks are it as if it were a fossil before he lets fly), and an early stage in his complex motion is a rhythmic shaking of the ball, in glove, shoving it down his body in an erotic dance. Tiant's family lives in Cuba, and on a recent visit George McGovern fixed it up with Fidel so that they could come and watch him pitch later in the season...
Died. Rod Serling, 50, television and motion-picture writer and creator of the supernaturally spooky series Twilight Zone; of a heart attack; in Rochester, N.Y.

Roxie Hart (Gwen Verdon), a honky-tonk '20s entertainer, murders her lover and beats the rap, thanks to a slick mouthpiece, Billy Flynn (Jerry Orbach). This scarcely matters. What matters is the erotic poetry in motion that uncoils whenever Verdon and her sister in crime Velma Kelly (Chita Rivera) do their solos and duets. They pace the show with spunk incarnate. The chorus is jazzily bacchanalian, and Patricia Zipprodt's eye-riveting costumes swirl right out of a decadent Brechtian Berlin. Chicago is a cinch...
