STAIRCASE. There are two good reasons to see this film version of Charles Dyer's play; they are Richard Burton and Rex Harrison. Portraying a bickering, desperate homosexual couple on the brink of old age, both men turn in their best screen performances in years...
When police, who were on the scene but unobtrusive at first, refused to play, the Weathermen vented their frustration in a senseless rampage. They stopped cars and beat the bewildered passengers, smashed windows and glass doors, and urinated on everything in sight. Some charged head-on into squads of policemen. The cops retaliated with nightsticks, tear gas and, in a few instances, guns. Police arrested 60 that night. Later they obtained warrants and, in a predawn raid on the Covenant United Methodist Church of neighboring Evanston, picked up 43 of the nearly 200 S.D.S. members staying there. Three demonstrators were...
...Squeeze Play. In the midst of last week's celebrations, East Germany's leaders were preoccupied with the problem that has been uppermost since the regime was born-how to deal with West Germany.

Starr's longest completion of the day went for only 13 yds., and he was leveled eight times by the Viking line for a total...
...Viking front four have even reached the sobriquet stage: the Four Norsemen (something of a misnomer, since three of the men are Negroes, and only Larsen is of Danish extraction). The key to their success is their cohesive style of play. "They are a highly disciplined group," says Line Coach Bob Hollway. "They don't go crashing all over, each one trying to do the whole job himself. They have a great respect for each other's abilities, and they complement one another perfectly...
