Those Dodgers who could not make the necessary adjustments retired, or, like Duke Snider who will end his days as a Met, were traded. Men like Sandy Koufax, who came to the Dodgers wilder than Steamboat, reformed. The younger generation is significantly better than its predecessors--just more serious. Only Maury Wills has any idea of what Dodgers are traditionally supposed to do, and even he makes his base more often than...
...into something roomier than the shockingly indecent tights he has been asked to wear. Carol Schectman gives us a plump-cheeked, milkmaid, Putney-girl Isabella and somehow makes a two-dimensional part seem barely one-dimensional. Jacqueline Winer transforms Mistress Overdone into an inaudible New Orleans madam of the steamboat days; the accents of W.D. Hart's Provost are alternately refined and repulsive; Alfred Guzetti is a childish Elbow; Stanford M. Janger an exhausted Lucio. There are also an Escalus and a Barnadine...
WALLACE ("BUD") WERNER. 27. of Steamboat Springs, Colo., swooshed boldly through Sun Valley's downhill course in 2 min. 20.5 sec. to beat (by .9 sec.) Switzerland's Jos Minsch-winner of Innsbruck's pre-Olympic race. Next day. Werner won again in the twisting slalom. At Mount Alyeska, he beat Minsch in the downhill-only to lose by a bare .1 sec. to another American. Plagued with bad luck. Werner took an inglorious spill in the 1956 Olympics, had to sit out the 1960 games with a broken leg. He intends to make...
...halo run amok. He speaks, and the words emerge in a soft, sepulchral baritone. They undulate in measured phrases, expire in breathless wisps. He fills his lungs and blows word-rings like smoke. The sentences curl upward. They chase each other around the room in dreamy images of Steamboat Gothic. Now he conjures moods of mirth, now of sorrow. He rolls his bright blue eyes heavenward. In funereal tones, he paraphrases the Bible (" 'Lord, they would stone me . . .'") and church bells peal. "Motherhood." he whispers, and grown men weep. "The Flag!" he bugles, and everybody salutes...
...strongly influenced John Constable and Washington Allston, and he might have made something special "in the painting way" out of Robert Fulton and Samuel F. B. Morse had not the impulse to invent the steamboat and the telegraph taken priority with them. When he died in 1820, a few weeks after George III, the new King, George IV, wanted to banish all his father's Wests to the lumber room of Windsor Castle. He backed down only when another eminent West student intervened. The man was Sir Thomas Lawrence, who in that same year started his own loving portrait...
