...inadequate protective measures. While a few carriers such as Eastern, TWA and American are making serious attempts to maintain effective surveillance and deterrent devices, others are deliberately dogging it to try and force the Federal Government into picking up the tab for airline security (e.g., magnetometers, sky marshals, X-ray equipment). FAA officials and the pilots are becoming more fed up by the day. Said Captain Al Bonner, vice president of the Air Line Pilots Association, which recently called a 24-hour protest strike: "The public, we feel, should stand up with us by refusing to fly on airlines that...
Giving the cleaning ladies the night off, Radio City Music Hall opened its doors at midnight for a four-hour jam session that saw Ben Webster, Zoot Sims, and Milt Jackson tapping toes where the Rockettes usually toe-up to tap. Uptown at Yankee Stadium, the likes of Ray Charles, Dave Brubeck and Gerry Mulligan made a far more winning team than the stadium's usual inhabitants...
...winner of the Golden Glove award and eight times the American League's All-Star catcher, he labored for several years in serious pain until an operation fused his detached vertebrae. Just as he was getting back into form this year, he broke his thumb.

...nets and backdrops, and hold court. The National Junior Tennis League, partly funded by Coca-Cola, is even more ambitious. After a slow start three years ago, it will operate this summer in more than 20 cities, reaching 30,000 youngsters.

"We grab the kids off the street and put them on the court right away, hitting the ball," he says. "We just give them bright-colored shirts, encourage them to yell for each other, and let them go." These programs...
...play are centered in the complex character of Brutus, a man "with himself at war," an idealist who, as it turns out, can no more foretell the dire outcome of his well-meant acts than can Gregers Werle, the great idealist in Ibsen's The Wild Duck. James Ray gives us a Brutus that is reasonably well spoken, and rather restrained as befits an adherent of the Stoic school of philosophy. But he does not reach the deep intellectuality attained by James Mason in the film, and does not sufficiently earn the posthumous tribute paid him by Mark Antony...
