...Bonanno, 71, Galente's former boss, has managed to retain some of his New York influence. Bonanno. who now lives in Tucson. Ariz., claimed at the meeting that he was there just to help. Few observers believe his intent was so benign. More probably, he wants to retake control of his old New York family-which his fellow mobsters pushed him out of twelve years ago, when he began to infringe on their turfs -and then grab Gambino's crown. Bonanno's forte is treachery-and innovation. He is credited with inventing the split-level coffin. Instead...
...forge on 24-hour duty. The antic Edison of Wild Goose Cottage plans to paint and draw lithographs, wallpaper, cartoons and other whatsits that may yet make Emettiana an American household word.

It is in the admissions office that Ebert's talk of academic freedom is made flesh. The uproar over a provision in the new bill requiring medical schools to reserve places in their third year class for students who have completed two years in a foreign school and passed part one of the national board exam, is no freak accident...
Candida is very fine early Shaw; its dialogue is eloquent without being talky, its characters are vivid and complex and its polemics never threaten to overpower the central psychological drama. The Loeb production--spotty as it is--still manages to retain much of the play's original dramatic force. But it succeeds partially only because, with Candida, it would be very hard to fail utterly...
