...only veteran on the team was Dennis ("The Menace") Ralston, 24, who ranks No. 1 in the U.S. and plays like it when he can keep a lid on his temper. Last week the only menacing thing about Dennis was his game. Mixing riflelike base-line shots with lobs, he ran Mexico's Star Rafael Osuna, 27, into the ground with a four-set victory...
...plot, the film boasts a CORE sampling of injustices that supposedly explain the color-conscious hero's heavy drinking and bad temper. Seldom is there any doubt that what makes Adam run is Sammy. Carpentered into the story line are all the predictable solo turns-a crying jag, a tender love episode, a scene in which he wields a broken bottle to make his agent grovel, and a reprise in which Davis crawls across a restaurant floor to shine Lawford's shoes. There is a semifinal glimpse of the doomed genius staggering through city streets, climaxed...

Heatly took down only one direct quote of Whitman's?that he was "thinking about going...
...personality change should signal an alert to family and friends?a habitually shy and quiet person who suddenly becomes aggressive and talkative, or the reverse. Other danger signs: depression and seclusion, hypersensitivity to little slights and insults, a change in normal patterns of eating or sleeping, uncontrolled outbursts of temper, disorganized thinking and morbid interest in such potential tools of destruction as guns or knives. Psychiatrists are quick to add that the appearance of even all those symptoms does not necessarily mean that a man is about to turn killer. But the symptoms do mean that he is in need...
