Diana's life is no less unconventional than her attitudes about acting. Unmarried, she lives alone in a nondescript house in Barnes, a decidedly unfashionable London neighborhood south of the Thames. She reads books. She is blunt. She speaks out, at times in four-letter words, on Women's Lib or birth control. She frankly discusses the fact that she lived for eight years with a married man, probably will do so again, and has no intention of ever marrying...
...Changing Room is Storey's most powerful and moving drama, it is because he has found in sport his purest metaphor for the war of existence. The characters are a semi-pro English north country rugby team. Six days of the week, they are peaceable, nondescript employees somewhere. On the seventh day, they gird up their loins for gory combat. The changing room is where they come and go from their catchpenny Armageddon. In Act I, the men perform their initiation rites, strip down, loosen muscles, get into their uniforms. In Act II, they come off the field...
...metropolitan New York to serve 677 subpoenas in what Brooklyn District Attorney Eugene Gold expansively called "the most massive investigation of organized crime in the history of this country." Later Gold climbed into his aquamarine Cadillac and led two busloads of reporters to a gangland "summit headquarters"-a grimy, nondescript house trailer in a Brooklyn junkyard called Bargain Auto Parts Inc.

...zones in the pro game. One of the most effective is the rotating zone, perfected by the Baltimore Colts and shown in the diagram above. In this defense there are four short areas of responsibility and three deep ones. Ideally, the defensive backs will line up in a nondescript formation, then shift quickly to their predesignated areas as soon as the ball is snapped. In other words, the quarterback sees one defensive alignment before the play begins and a totally different one when he drops back to pass...
...might as well be Midas. In the mid-1960s he transformed a pigtailed Welsh rock belter, Tommy Scott, into the tuxedoed dandy whom the international pop world now knows as Tom Jones (the nom de chanson capitalized on the then-popular movie). Two years later Mills took a nondescript provincial singer, Gerry Dorsey, whimsically tagged him with the name of a 19th century German composer and made Engelbert Humperdinck almost as big a nightclub, TV and recording star as Jones. The musical empire that Mills has built largely on the careers of those two singers is now worth between...
