...Soviet teams can embarrass most clubs in the National Hockey League, imagine the scores their All-Star aggregate will run up against amateur opponents in Innsbruck. Alexander Yakushev is the best left wing in the world, says Bobby Hull, and Goal Tender Vladislav Tretiak has proved he is unsurpassed at stopping shots. Why bother holding the tournament...
Because, says Czechoslovakia's coach Karel Gut, his team can win the gold medal. The Czechs lost the Izvestia Cup tournament to the Soviets last December by only one goal, and the Russians had home-ice advantage. Gut is confident that Goal Tender Jiri Holocek and Wing Vladimir Martinek are the equals of the better-publicized Soviets. The Finns are a solid bet for a bronze, but the young American team could surprise. In fact, U.S. Coach Bob Johnson is planning on it. He has a future pro goalie in Jim Warden, and his squad has beaten teams from...
...Washington Post simultaneously printed the embarrassing story that the CIA had been authorized to give $6 million in secret aid to non-Communist Italian parties-most of it, apparently, to the ruling Christian Democrats.

The workers were striking in sympathy with 200,000 civil servants who were still waiting for approval...

With Dickinson especially, Virginia tended to lapse into repellent pet names and quasi-erotic baby talk ("I feel myself curled up snugly in old mother wallaby's pouch. Is mother wallaby soft and tender to her little one?"). But these women also inspired some of her most candid passages about literary ambition and travail. With them she shared an intensely personal feminism, a concern for the fate of the talented woman in Edwardian society...
...pity that A.B.T. did not give this extraordinary galaxy of talents something more interesting to do. Milwaukee-born Neumeier, 33, was a disciple of John Cranko, the late artistic director of the Stuttgart Ballet. Cranko's tender Romeo and Juliet and rollicking The Taming of the Shrew showed that good ballets can be based on Shakespeare's plays. Hamlet Connotations proves that choreographers can make bad ones as well. Set to a trio of astringent pieces by Aaron Copland, Neumeier's stripped-down, expressionistic dance is simplistically Oedipal: Mother Gertrude seems as much in love with...
