...SHOWOFF. A North Philadelphia family is forced to change gears when a monkey wrench, in the form of a loudmouth son-in-law (Clayton Corzatte), is thrown into the domestic proceedings. Helen Hayes leads the APA repertory company in a skillful revival of George Kelly's 43-year-old comedy...
Hockey is one sport in which nice guys really do finish last - and for six out of the past seven years, last place in the National Hockey League has be longed to the Boston Bruins, a team of such pluckless pandas that they could not have thrown a scare into Goldi locks.

What the court objected to, he added, was the wording of the McCarran act, which is so vague and broad that it "quite literally establishes guilt by association alone." The Congress undoubtedly will take the hint and pass substitute legislation...
