Perhaps we make too much of a fuss over sports in our society. I'm not one to talk, of course, because I think of myself as a sportswriter and read the sports page of any newspaper first. But I begin to question why I do this when I witness the contrast in emphasis placed by society on the arts and athletics--those two areas where man openly displays his emotion, his heart, and his soul...
HEADLINE of the month: "And they were all dead." The Boston Herald-American's five-column front-page headline over a five-column picture and story on the American Airlines crash Friday in Chicago...
OTHER, better, newspapers don't really provide happy mediums between hustle and heart attacks, either, though. At the Washington Post, news reporters--especially on cityside--constantly battle in a cutthroat competition to get their stories on the front page, and consequently tend to go for the quickie scandal rather than the drawn-out drudgery of research into government processes and problems.

Those long, obsessive scenes in which Stephen Dedalus flexes his revolutionary's muscles in aesthetic and theological debate with school friends become strangely wooden when, instead of reading them on the printed page, we are forced to watch actors trying to speak these abstractions with realistic spontaneity. As for Joyce's famous epiphanies, they seem disastrously flat on the screen, at least in this adap tation. It falls to John Gielgud to deliver the most famous of them, a priest...
