...Broadway's Roundabout Theater is a place where neglected plays of classic playwrights come out of hiding. The current season, the Roundabout's twelfth, began with a stylish production of Shaw's You Never Can Tell, a playful skirmish between the sexes that is all jests and no scars. With Naked, the company shifts to the somber philosophical terrain of a 1922 work by Pirandello...
Redgrave is on the screen less frequently than Fonda but her appearances are memorable. She sensitively captures Julia's evolution from a headstrong stylish socialist to a committed antifascist who sacrifices her life not on impulse but after careful consideration. Hellman's character is relatively more static, and when she risks her life by smuggling funds for Julia's group into Germany-- Hellman is Jewish--we are never sure whether she is acting out of political commitment, love for Julia, or simply because she was afraid to display cowardice by refusing her friend's plea.

Cuomo also had trouble, as he later frankly admitted, setting forth his own clear-cut positions that differed from Koch...

Though Saffir has chosen as editor John Denson, seventyish, who also edited the Herald Tribune (from 1961 through 1962), the new Trib will lack one important characteristic of its predecessor: news. Denson has designed a stylish, magazine-like tabloid filled with canned features from syndicates and wire services, graced with an aggressively pro-business editorial page and almost devoid of breaking stories. Saffir defends that formula, which was first presented in a June 27 preview edition, on the grounds that the city's three major dailies...
