...quickly destroy a fabric of free comment by responding so foolishly and, apparently, since it must have anticipated and approved the consequences, so brutally to an outbreak which was regarded largely with amusement and certainly not taken seriously by any group large enough to do much more than squat in University Hall...
...Basic Squat. Archer, who was voted Putter of the Year last season by the golf writers, describes his form on the greens as "a basic squatting position," a technique he developed as a caddie in San Francisco. It served him so well that for three years in a row, he was lowest-scoring amateur in the city's Lucky International Open and soon had himself a sponsor, Eugene Selvage, a retired brewery president. Archer was installed at Selvage's 5,000-acre Hereford ranch in Gilroy, Calif., where he painted fences and cleaned out the barns...
Tension between the two men keeps Blood Knot from being a mawkish paean to poverty. John Dullaghan, who played Morris off-Broadway, mumbles like a flat-car hobo that he was forced to come back to Zachariah from his guilt at trying to pass.

The ostensible reason: the party needed an articulate, attractive spokesman to project vitality.

In January, he invited Bliss...
...richly comic and McNally's best play to date. At an antiseptically bleak Army induction center, a potential draftee (James Coco) appears for his physical examination. He is fortyish, fat, balding, and obviously the victim of some computer error. Nonetheless, his examiner (Elaine Shore), a squat female sergeant of stony mien and rigid devotion to the Army manual, proceeds with the examination. In a sequence of mounting hilarity, the thoroughly discomfited Coco is forced to strip down. The apex of comic modesty is reached when Coco tries to avoid total exposure by draping himself in the American flag...
