...freely acknowledged by San Francisco's way-gone Don Sherwood (TIME, Sept. 9) that he is the world's greatest disk jockey. But when he gets too far away from his records, he tends to set some-chiefly for wild talk, editorializing and plain old airborne nonsense. Tireless champion of all underdogs, Sherwood thought that he had found a great cause last April: New Mexico's Navajo Indians. Commentator Sherwood was soon berating the U.S. Government for freezing Navajo funds (it has not), arguing that the tribe is ill fed, ill housed (it is not), trying...
...Francisco's KGO-TV, which believes that disk jockeys should stick to their musical saddles, told Sherwood to shut up about the Indians. He sulked. "Somebody got to somebody," he said during his TV variety show, "and I can't mention the Navajos . . ." Click! and he was off the air, replaced by a traffic safety film.

Winesburg, Ohio (adapted by Christopher Sergel from the short stories of Sherwood Anderson) turns Anderson's celebrated slim volume into far too slim a play. The book's small-town vignettes shocked readers in 1919 with insights into the neurotic crochets of lonely, frustrated Winesburghers.

...relative power of the two plays in a way simply reflects the relative force of Thomas Wolfe and Sherwood Anderson--Wolfe a chaotic, massive, but overwhelmingly vital power, and Anderson a smaller, more controlled talent. Whereas Angel as a book has the solid core but lacks shape, Winesburg, despite its wellshaped phrases, has a weaker core. Therefore a stage craftsman can, by pruning and shaping, transfer and even intensify much of Thomas Wolfe; the only important element lost in making Angel into a play was the visible stagnation and oppressive boredom, which are communicable far more easily in a long...
...baseball's Giants moved from New York to San Francisco, Negro Batting Star Willie Mays decided that he might as well move too. He and his attractive wife Marghuerite shopped around, finally decided on a modern threebedroom house on a hillside in San Francisco's well-pruned Sherwood Forest district. After discussing the price-$37,500 -dismayed Willie learned that his neighbors-to-be, all white, did not want the Mayses. Their presence would "depress property values." Last week, after San Francisco's Council for Civic Unity and Mayor George Christopher denounced the Sherwood Foresters for trying...
