Rosewall has been playing the same sort of stylish tennis since the '50s, when he and another Australian teenager, Lew Hoad, were beating U.S. Davis Cup teams manned by Vic Seixas and Tony Trabert. It has helped him win major titles over an incredible span: the U.S. championship in 1956 and again in 1970; the French championship in 1953 and 1968; the Australian championship four times, the first in 1953 and the most recent just this year...
...grim environment--even at the cost of a few emotional deadends. Leigh Montayne takes the part of Len and turns it into a believable, if curiously passive portrait of a nice guy just too intent on finishing last. In contrast, as his rival Fred, Frank W. Leupold enters a stylish, occasionally overly malignant performance. As Mary, the mother of Len's girlfriend, Nora Jacobson is most convincing, a catch-all of stray hairs and wasted spirits. Rounding out the household. Lynne Breslin and Richard Christenson are no less relenting in the purpose with which they attack their roles...

It is a generational saga of American life from the late 19th century to the present, a la Our Town, from Grover Cleveland and his mistress to Masters and Johnson. With obvious delight and gusto, the key actors play many men and women at various ages, and they are awfully good at it. The play concerns a clan that manufactures buttons, but Playwright Robison seems to have...
...implacable tribal will: just as Clausewitz defined war as foreign policy by other means, La Cosa Nostra regards murder as an instrument of business-often conducted with a vengeance. The peculiar vogue that the Mafia is now enjoying in films and books may spring from a kind of stylish atavism that Americans recognize in a brute feudal system that allows swift retribution with no red tape. In part, it simply appeals to the antibureaucratic impulse, the secret instinct that things can be "fixed," even in satisfyingly violent ways. For the moment, many still find the Mob romantically sinister and enterprising...
