Come midnight this Saturday, the hills of Kentucky will once again bristle and stir with the sound of founding. The mountain madness of the Hatfields and the McCoys may be half a century or more dormant, but feuding over nothing-yet-everything remains the Commonwealth's peculiar pasttime...
...else equality ridiculous. That way, the show doesn't need to depend on drag jokes or anti-homophile inferences--in fact, they can be eliminated entirely. Instead, in show in which royal banquets where "the liquor flows like wine" are interrupted by would-be regicides with wooden spoons ("to stir the people to rebellion"), the chorus-line becomes one more irrelevant frill, part of an endless series whose insouciance about ordinary standards of sense as well as sensibility lets you just sit back and listen to the one-liners crackle...

It features the spectacle of a bad guy (Tony King) bounding across the hoods of traffic-stalled taxicabs clad only in his trim-line boxer shorts. Even in New York City, this creates something of a stir, especially since the bad guy, who is black, is being pursued by a white good guy (Michael Moriarty), and both of them are armed. Hunter and hunted end up holding each other at bay in an elevator at Saks Fifth Avenue that has stopped between floors. While the cops surround...

Pollster Patrick Caddell of Cambridge, Mass., reports that "70% or more of the party activists are not supporting anyone. They are all still looking for a candidate." Moreover, party leaders are also withholding their endorsements, and for an excellent reason. Explains Deputy Mayor John DeLuca of San Francisco: "A lot of the boys learned a political lesson the hard way last time. They came out early for Muskie and were left holding the bag." Adds Illinois Democratic Chairman John Touhy...
