Representing her past is a gaunt, tortured relic of the concentration camp (Richard Cragun) who periodically surfaces to stir her nightmare visions. Just as the adagio tails off in an eerie diminuendo, Traces ends with the anguish of the woman left unresolved. But the role is enacted to near perfection by Marcia Haydée, surely the finest dancing actress...
...inhabitants of THE HOT L BALTIMORE are transients, and so is their habitat. The E has dropped from the façade of the Hotel Baltimore, and the wreckers' ball awaits this seedy relic of past elegance. The lobby is a kind of limbo where the remaining tenants relate or display their past falls from grace. In The Time of Your Life, Saroyan gave us one whore with a heart of gold, the luminous Kitty Duval. Wilson is no piker.

In 1885, the paper expanded its sports department. In place of the single Sporting Editor, a relic from the earliest days of the paper, the Board voted to elect "Special sporting correspondents." These writers were men who were themselves involved in the different Varsity sports--many of them as active participants. If their reporting was biased (and sometimes it was), remember that The Crimson...
