...five crew members aboard the space shuttle Discovery, made his maiden voyage into space two years ago. An astronaut since 1967, he took the fifth flight of the shuttle Columbia. Back on terra firma, Allen collaborated with Writer Russell Martin on a book, Entering Space, published this month (Stewart, Tabori & Chang; $24.95). Illustrated with scores of photographs, a few of which appear here, Entering Space is a knowing and scrupulously detailed account of the most ambitious American adventures aloft. It gives a sense of the prosaic minutiae and the dumb-struck wonder of traveling through space. Some excerpts...
...NORTH AMERICAN ANIMAL ALMANAC by Darryl Stewart Stewart, Tabori &Chang; 351 pages; $14.95 May is the best month for observing the grizzly bear, from a proper distance, of course. March is the best time to study the turkey vulture, especially in the tiny hamlet of Hinckley, Ohio, to which, like the swallows that regularly come back to Capistrano, the scavenging birds return every year. February, however, is not the ideal time to look for groundhogs. The woodchuck does awaken from his winter torpor earlier than most other ground animals but rarely as early as Feb. 2-unless roused from...
...none of the old sweet prissiness and was not afraid of the uses of power. Wayne gave way during the Viet Nam era to Clint Eastwood, the high plains drifter with an almost reptilian indifference to death suffered or inflicted. Cowboy: The Enduring Myth of the Wild West (Stewart, Tabori & Chang; 431 pages; $50) is richly shrewd about the actuality and legend of cowboys, doing justice to both in a commentary by Russell Martin and in photographs that are by turns haunting and as garish as Technicolor...
...faithless wife Honor. When Ward boasts that he can seduce Honor, Leeds bets him that if he does so, Ron will kill Ward within 48 hours. The resulting anarchy smacks of both the Marx brothers and Sleuth and produces two good performances, from Kenneth Oilman as Ward and Kristoffer Tabori as Leeds. Mark Medoff, whose play When You Comin' Back, Red Ryder? was an off-Broadway success last season, has a rare talent for juxtaposing fear and fun. Though The Wager lacks enough emotional depth to make Medoff's high speed verbal games truly revealing of character...
Save for the novelty of its setting, the script would not pass muster on day time television. Occasionally Director Tom Gries (Will Penny) turns his camera onto an Indian ritual, but without any discernible insight or feeling. Miss Racimo passes the time being cuddlesome, and Tabori is convincingly offesive as Danny. Robert Forster's performance is proof positive that, all rumors to the contrary, they're still making cigar-store Indians...
