...seat Philharmonic Hall to a mostly young, blue-jeaned audience, but after nearly three hours, had them cheering for more. After Newman played Bach's Fantasia and Fugue in G Minor on the pedal harpsichord, he trotted onstage for a curtain call, shoulders hunched in a simian crouch, folded his hands in a Zen gesture of thanks. Grabbing his score from the harpsichord, he waved it over his head, signaled for quiet and asked, "How'd you like to hear the same piece on the organ?" When the audience roared, he clambered up to the organ and obliged...
CONQUEST OF THE PLANET OF THE APES is the fourth installment in an apparently endless series of simian science fiction (TIME, June 5). For a while, each chapter (Beneath the Planet of the Apes, Escape from the Planet of the Apes) looked cheaper and more cursory than its predecessor, but thanks to some razzle-dazzle direction by J.

Bench matches any of the greats. His physical assets are spectacular. He is broad (making him a good target for the pitcher), strong and agile. He can hold seven baseballs in one simian paw. But, most impressive, he throws a single baseball harder than the limits of human ability would seem to allow. "I wish," says one wistful Redleg pitcher, "that I could throw the way he does." Bench once proudly announced: "I can throw out any base runner alive." His challenge was quickly met by the best alive, the Cardinals' Lou Brock, who at the time...
