...kingmaker and a possible candidate himself, was heard by a Vatican insider to say he favors Albino Luciani, 65, of Venice, particularly because of their shared aversion to Communism. Carlo Confalonieri, who carries much weight among Italians, although he is too old to vote, agreed. Suddenly Luciani, heretofore seen as a remote compromise candidate, shot up on the lists...
Whether the young Giants are the team of destiny that their fans have so proudly and perhaps prematurely hailed remains to be seen. What they have surely done is to give a fierce rivalry a new lease on life in California. Since the Giants are young and fast, they are likely to be going at the Dodgers full tilt for years. However the wrenching, grueling pennant drive turns out, there are plenty of brush-'em-back pitches, spikes-high slides into second, empty-the-dugout confrontations and plain, hard baseball ahead...

New Yorkers, who only this season have seen Prince's On the Twentieth Century, may not go quite so gaga over the lavish stagecraft of Evita. The Webber-Rice score, an immediate hit in England when released as a double album in 1976, has failed to catch on in the States. Still, all is not necessarily lost. If Stigwood can only find a way to package the show that is playing outside the Prince Edward Theater instead...
