...same general vein but extremely successful were the grotesque dances of Sartre's tragic chorus of "flies." Black costumes and subtle choreography by Wakeen Ray-Riv made the eight dancers a malevolent presence on stage. Orestes' final exorcism of remorse-his cowing of the "flies" as the symbol of fate-turned out to be a vivid pied-piper spectacle. As the "liberator" of Argos he had to put the rats (flies) on his own trail, burdening himself to unburden others...
...Schaaf and the Middies' Ray Walters carried their match to the 18th hole before Schaaf sunk an eight footer for a par and beat Walters, one-up. Shaaf only started to putt well on the back nine, tieing the match in the 16th with a birdie...

But I'll tell you, there is always something new to see." A red pickup truck whirls out of a dusty side road, races the train for a few miles and then, pulling ahead, suddenly swerves over a crossing just 50 yards ahead. "Come fall," Flaar shouts, "when everybody is going down to the grain elevators, you get lots of guys racing you to a crossing." He tugs...
