Before flying home from a Hawaiian vacation with his family in 1966, a five-year-old Miami boy packed some unusual souvenirs. Hawaii's pest-control agents waved the lad through Honolulu International Airport-never suspecting that he was lugging three brown-shelled snails. Soon after reaching home, his mother ordered him to toss the creatures into his backyard. What he tossed was an ecological bombshell. Innocently, the boy had introduced into the mainland U.S. a ferociously fertile predator: Achatina fulica, more commonly known as the giant African land snail...
When Bart Starr, the cool, competent Green Bay quarterback, led his rejuvenated Packers against Minnesota last week, he absorbed as pitiless a beating as any he has received in 14 years of N.F.L. play. The Packers never really got off the ground. Time after time Marshall and his fellow marauders-Gary Larsen, Alan Page and Carl Eller-blasted through the Green Bay line to dump Starr or force him to throw hurried, errant passes. Starr's longest completion of the day went for only 13 yds., and he was leveled eight times by the Viking line for a total...
Transformation. For all that, the Mets have never faced an outfit as tough as the Orioles. Man for man, the Birds are probably the finest baseball team since the New York Yankee juggernauts of the '50s. In their playoff series with Minnesota, they broke the Twins' spirit by taking two extra-inning contests, 4-3 and 1-0, then belted 18 hits as they rolled through the final game 11-2 for a swift playoff sweep. The Oriole pitching staff, headed by Mike Cuellar (23-11), Dave McNally (20-7) and Jim Palmer (16-4), is far superior...
...plays, Edward Albee's Tiny Alice cannot really be revived since it was never alive. The only scene with any vitality is the venomous opening interchange between a cardinal and a lawyer who were once schoolmates. The metaphysical blah about God, saintliness and martyrdom are as obfuscating as ever. On opening night, an astute 14-year-old girl summed up all that needs to be said of Tiny Alice: "I hate plays with hidden significance...
...several interpretations, but to make it insipid, boring and silly requires Ball's gall as well as his company's ineptitude. As the guest director of Georges Feydeau's A Flea in Her Ear, Gower Champion manages to intrude defects on the play that it never possessed. Feydeau was to the French bedroom farce what Einstein was to the theory of relativity. With gimmicks and gaucherie, Champion botches all of Feydeau's intricately precise equations of who-is-sleeping-with-whom-be-hind-which-door? As far as ACT's trip east is concerned...
