...Free Tickets. On nights when a Broadway production is baptized, none of the New York critics speaks with more effect than Justin Brooks Atkinson, 65. Part of his effect stems from the fact that he is the Times critic and part from his own reputation built through the years. "Half our lives,'' says Broadway Producer David Merrick (Fanny, La Plume de Ma Tante), "depend on a good review from Atkinson." Says Producer Alfred de Liagre Jr. (J.B.): "In terms of influence, Brooks is worth any four of the other critics." These awed testimonials...
Allegiance to the Theatergoer. A reporter at heart, he has always felt a stronger allegiance to the theatergoer than to the theater. A man of many interests, he has published seven books, mostly collections of casual, contemplative essays, is a chronic bird watcher and boat watcher, a part-time farmer (he owns 153 acres in Durham, N.Y.), and an amateur woodworker.

Last week the U.S. Tax Court ruled against them. The training analysis, it held, is part of the curriculum for which budding analysts sign up to gain "advancement in position," is therefore an educational cost -and nondeductible...
Joyce the Baboon. It is ironic that, for the most part, Miller remembers to be an artist instead of an orator only in the wacky, obscene, and sometimes brilliantly comic passages that make most of his books unmailable-but that will not be found here. Reading Miller in his scurrilous top form is like ending a riotously drunken evening by getting a foot caught in a chamber pot; but such sport cannot be had in this book...
