...best, an evening-long interpretation of Pushkin's intensely romantic verse-drama Eugene Onegin. Two nights later, the company presented an even more stunning tour deforce, a balletic version of Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew. Both were lavishly mounted, eye-filling pieces. Onegin uses a score by Music Director Kurt-Heinz Stolze based on short pieces by Tchaikovsky. The work moves quickly and assuredly through Pushkin's tale of romance and betrayal, never assuming the luxury of a dance-for-dance's-sake diversion, bending every movement toward dramatic ends. Shrew, with music by Domenico...
...Good Score. The script-which Peckinpah wrote with Walon Green -has the sound and rhythm of a rambling campfire yarn. Pike Bishop (William Holden) is the aging leader of a ragtag bunch of bandits who ride through the Southwest trying to scrape together an honorably illegal living. The money from previous jobs has just about run out, and the bunch is being trailed by a group of murderous bounty hunters. After an unsuccessful stickup in which two of them are killed, the rest light out for Mexico, with the bounty hunters hard on their trail, looking to make what Bishop...

...among the Latin American peasantry. Bragging that he would turn the Andes into the Sierra Maestra of South America, Castro hoped to export revolution to all of Latin America. Indeed, twelve governments have accused him of exporting subversion and supplying arms to guerrillas in their countries; nowhere did he score a real success. In 1967, his dream of victory was punctured by the Bolivian army bullets that killed Che Guevara, his longtime aide and strategist. In the wake of Che's death, Fidel slowed down his revolutionary activity, and his threat to Latin America began to wane. One reason...
...President Nixon has a depressing record. He has visited ten countries so far, been confronted with anti-U.S. demonstrations of one sort or another in five, cut short his stay in one because of threats of rioting - and been disinvited by three. It is a bitter box score, but it contains one encouraging ingredient. Rocky's troubled receptions have probably done more to dramatize the sorry state of U.S.-Latin American relations than anything since Richard Nixon's own tumultuous tour of the southern continent in 1958. Last week, conceding that there is "some discontent" among Latin...
