...dropped to .284 in 1974, the first time below .300 in ten seasons, the Reds tried to cut the salary of the home-town hero by 20%. It was the first salvo in a bitter fight that ended last week with Rose pulling down a Phillies cap over his pageboy. Rose also knows he can sell a lot of tickets for the Phils to cover his salary. Says baseball's leading entrepreneur: "I feel like I'm the No. 1 player, and I just want to get paid like...
Thus the world learned, in prose and tone that often seemed straight from a Monty Python satiric sketch, that Les ley Brown is a pretty woman of 5 ft. 5 in., who wears her brownish hair in a pageboy cut. In her turquoise-blue hospital room, she often lounges in an easy chair, wearing a brown-and-white bell-sleeved housecoat.

...Gramm's own worldly manner answer Producer Jean-Pierre Ponelle's demand for a Falstaff who is "no gross giant" and fits into the rumbustious Elizabethan world he recreates. Gramm is light on his feet and a magical actor as he spins out recollections of his pageboy youth (Quand' ero paggio) and summons up what seems impossible but makes the character human: the memory of Falstaff as a child. He is no opera buffoon, but a laughing knight whether on top of the world or crushed by it. As Ponelle says: "Don't forget that Falstaff...
