Eight & Eight. Yet Bobby stayed on as Attorney General at President Johnson's request. Last January the President sent him abroad to try to smooth over the conflicts between Indonesia, the Philippines and the new nation of Malaysia. While he was away, the Democratic city chairman of Manchester, N.H., Joseph R. Myers, conceived the idea of sponsoring a vice-presidential write-in campaign for him. "We didn't do this to embarrass Johnson," Myers said last week. "The Kennedy name is just magic up here...
...easy to see why Sadao Watanbe, the quintet's altoist, wins all the jazz polls in Japan; few foreigners can handle an alto sax with as much feeling and expertise as he can. He has great emotional range. On Davs of Wine and Roses, his tone was liquid, and smooth as marble; on Miles Davis' So What, he spat and screamed in a breathtaking solo. Watanbe (who is really good enough to play with anyone) had excellent support: the melodic, unpretentious piano of Brian Cooke, Saltonstall's bass, and Billy Elgart's drums. Trumpeter Ken Houk still has problems making...

There are, of course, those who divorce, but I suspect that the high rate of divorce in America comes from...
Frances Gitter as Zenocrate starts slowly, making no effort to smooth the queen's sudden transformation from hatred of Tamburlaine to love for him. This particular roughness is largely Marlowe's fault; as the play moves along, Miss Gitter's acting gets smoother. In her death scene, the production reaches its climax. Stone's outbursts of emotion and Miss Gitter's lovely reading are supplemented by some dazzling work with the lighting by David Levine...
