...latest flood of information from these Jovian satellites would have thoroughly awed the great Italian Scientist Galileo, who discovered them 369 years ago. Moving at speeds approaching 45,000 m.p.h., the 1,800-lb. spacecraft swept by Callisto, the oldest, outermost and apparently smoothest of the Galilean moons...
Jumbo Elliott calls Nehemiah the smoothest hurdler he has ever seen and, indeed, Nehemiah visualizes his event as a nearly unimpeded run down a straightaway. "I try to run right through the hurdle, as though it's not even there," he says. "A lot of hurdlers, you can see the jump when they run.

What crowds wait to see is one of the smoothest righthanded swings in recent baseball memory. With his bat held letter high and his head arched over a cocked shoulder, Rice explodes with a compact swing. Says he: "My strength comes from my wrists and legs.

Rice springs eternal: his force is lethal to pitchers, who admit that the rattlesnake swing is the most formidable in the big leagues...
...leaves behind--gulp--one of the smoothest, most enjoyable, and most professional Harvard shows this year, proving that great directors need not be distant, tyrannical or tempermental.

...flawless cast plays superbly off of Lemmon, especially Robert Picardo as Jud. Unafraid of being charmless or unendearing, Picardo gives a wiry, courageous performance which ultimately wins us over and holds its own against his formidable stage father. Director Arthur Storch provides one of the smoothest, cleanest pieces of staging I have ever seen--he also invokes splendid, precise comic timing from the entire cast. William Ritman's split-level set is sheer genius, both aesthetically and thematically. Like Scottie, it has something for everyone: paneled walls, lots of framed photos, ultra-modern but ultra-comfortable furniture, all in attractive...
