Suddenly, Alexeyev emerges and starts to warm up. Though no one wants to stare, all but Rakhmanov look over their shoulders. The young prince was psyched out by Alexeyev the last time they met, and he will have none of Alexeyev's flattering words this time. But Alexeyev is in no position to trouble other opponents; he has problems of his own. He has lost some of the flexibility of the spine required in the snatch, in which a man must bend deep and sweep the bar overhead in a single, flowing motion. He also seems slower today, getting...

"When little Oskar is three, he will have a toy drum," says Mama and his umbilical cord...
...camera that has worked this change in the eye of the viewer belongs to Ira Wohl, a gifted documentary film maker who is also Philly's cousin. His approach during three years of filming was quite unlike the disdainful stare of cinéma verité, although much of what he recorded is bleak. The tone of the film is passionate advocacy, and its real subject is the dignity of love in a family hard-pressed by age and illness. Pearl, Philly's mother, is in her late 70s, and Max, his father, is three years older...
