...this has got to be the greatest bumper crop of rookies in history." Rigney has five rookies on his roster, and three of them have starting berths. Centerfielder Jose Cardenal, 21, is hitting .286, has stolen ten bases. Pitcher Marcelino Lopez, 21, is the ace of the Angels' mound staff with six victories, only three defeats, and Third Baseman Paul Schaal, 22, has cracked eight homers. At Kansas City, Manager Haywood Sullivan, a rookie himself, is frankly ecstatic over his prize find: Catcher Rene Lachemann. A one time bat boy for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Righthander Lachemann...
...Hawaii, a series of historical novellas are embedded in a meandering contemporary narrative.

Blau admits that Happy Days, with its two characters and mound of earth, is a difficult and ambitious play, more ambitious than large productions which pretend to encompass a "great event." For Beckett and Blau wish to do nothing less than tell the truth about the human condition, as they see it, and to tell it obliquely, comically, and ironically-which is perhaps the only way it can be told. They also wish to close the gaps between the actors and the play and between the audience and the dramatic production. In the few places where they fail, the audience...
