With a top speed of under 600 m.p.h. (v. 1,800 m.p.h. for the F-lll), the stubby, single-seat craft cannot even fly all-weather combat missions. What the Corsair does have, however, is almost twice the range (4,000 miles) and twice the bomb capacity (20,000 Ibs.) of any light attack jet that is currently in the U.S. arsenal...

The beggar's dance is frolicsome when it should be ferocious; the possession of the bride by the dybbuk is dispatched before the full terror of the assault can be developed. Marilyn Pitzele as Leye, the bride, manages to prove herself a fine actress amid the swirl. With her brash girl friends hustled off-stage and her sing-song grandmother, (Barbara Thompson) silenced by the script, Miss Pitzele displays a sullenness of movement, and a finely...
