...donated by local citizens and businesses, which picked the projects from a ten-page brochure as if they were selecting presents from an L.L. Bean catalogue. The printing bill for the presentation ran to $250, but even that cost was borne by donors, the city council members. Explains William Talley, city manager of Anaheim, Calif, which also publishes a catalogue for givers: "Cities can't ask the Federal Government for the money because it doesn't seem to be in that business any more, and the state government is balancing its budget on the backs of the cities...
...crusher came in between a goal by Dartmouth's Pam Talley at the 4.35 mark of extra play, nearly set up by a centering pass from forward Radack. The Green defense steadied after that, as Harvard saw its season mark fall to 5-2-2, while Dartmouth's reached...
Many writers have focused on a place, a time or a family. But few have been so specific-or so obsessed-as Lanford Wilson is in his saga of the Talley family of Lebanon, Mo.

Fifth of July, which is still running on Broadway, is the hilarious but moving story of the Talleys today, with Kenneth, the inheritor of that big house, coming to terms with the fact that he left both legs behind in Viet Nam. But the newest play, which should have been the first, chronologically, just meanders, with no discernible destination. A telegram announces the death of Timmy, for instance, and Timmy...
