...Game Is Over, which transposes a novel by Emile Zola (La Curée) into the present Paris scene, he gives them little else. Game tells the gamy tale of a hot young wife who commits incest with the hot young stepson (Peter McEnery) of her cold old husband (Michel Piccoli), and Vadim finds opportunities innumerable to show the world what a lucky man he is. Mrs. Vadim is exhibited stark naked in a bed of lust and rising from a garden pool like the White Rock girl. She also appears topless in a bathroom and bottomless under a hair...

The resulting novel, a tense, minute-by-minute account of a prison riot, shows that he has a born storyteller's way with a yarn...
...ideas and points of agreement between the Redevelopment Authority and the leaders in renewable areas are not new in Boston. Logue has signed a number of them in the past--but the agencies and methods which led to last night's agreement with the Lower Roxbury Community Corporation are novel and may play an important part in future attempts to renew neighborhoods not only in Boston, but also in other large American cities...
