...season any city might envy. Last week Danny Glover, the busiest black actor in Hollywood (The Color Purple, Witness, Silverado), made his Chicago stage debut at Steppenwolf's intimate--and perforce uncommercial--211- seat space in Athol Fugard's A Lesson from Aloes. A few blocks away, William Peterson, star of the film thriller To Live and Die in L.A., has rejoined the funky, avant-garde Remains Theater in a portrayal of brainwashing, Days and Nights Within...

But unlike Lennon, who played just offense, big Joe Kenary supplied almost all of his team's offense and defense: he picked off a pass from Peterson, he prevented a Leverett two-point conversion attempt at the one, and he powered his way for 24 yards on one Mather possession...
