...Frangois Truffaut, Suzanne Schiffman and Jean-Claude Grumberg Here Francois Truffaut does for theater people what he did for film folk in 1973's Day for Night: he makes charming sense of their idiosyncrasies in a story that combines amused tolerance for their odd ways with a tender regard for their idealism. The earlier film showed how a movie company on location seals itself off from the outside world and creates its own vivid reality. The Last Metro focuses on a theatrical company trying to operate in German-occupied Paris during World War II while surrounded by Gestapo agents...
...week's time... Last weekend's eight Crimson pins were more than their combined total for their previous nine matches...Senior co-captain TONY CIMMARUSTI will not wrestle the rest of the season, he said last Monday. His knee, injured in the 1979 Yale Game, is considered too tender and fragile to risk hurting again for a team that no longer has a reasonable chance for an Ivy title...

Once, though, she told him how she wished it had been: that he had taken her for a canoe ride, strummed a ukulele, sang and asked her to marry him, while she trailed a hand langorously in the water. Reagan...
...three hours the crowd swelled with new arrivals: miners from Silesia wearing their traditional long black coats and plumed czaka, railway workers from Lublin, bus drivers from Pulawy. Hundreds of thousands strong, they spilled out into side streets, waiting patiently in the early twilight while the tender strains of a Chopin piano concerto wafted from a loudspeaker. They had come to Gdansk to honor the memory of 45 workers killed by police and army bullets ten years before in riots along the Baltic coast. At long last a monument had been built: three slender trunks of steel crowned by crosses...
