Train was playing precise squash, not letting up for a minute. He grabbed the load at 5-3 and hold it: the score went to 7-6, 10-6, 13-10, and suddenly, as Francis whacked a shot into the tin, Train led 14-10. He had four match points, four chances to end the Crimson's unbeaten season and 28-match winning streak...
...life of the stage was more interesting than cracking oil. Housed in an old warehouse, the Mummers have set some sort of record by being solvent from the start, especially since they produce Edward Albee and Samuel Beckett as well as surer things like Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, which closed a successful run last week. "A successful resident theater," says the Ford Foundation, "appears to be dependent upon a single driving, talented director or producer determined to have his own theater company and to have it in a particular place." Ford recently gave Seism...
Disappointing Magic. As permanent parts of the city landscapes, some of the older slums are getting paved streets, electricity, running water. TV antennas are beginning to sprout above tin roofs; once in a while a relatively imposing dwelling thrusts above the squalid huts. But no major Latin American city has been able to cope with the ever-growing demands for housing. At least 400,000 new low-cost urban housing units are needed in Venezuela, 400,000 in Chile, 500,000 in Argentina...
Since Streectar (1947), Williams has operated below peak form. He has offered a stream of new and rewritten works--a dozen of them--but only in parts of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is the old mastery evident. Earlier this month a revised version of Tinkerer Williams' The Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here Any More failed as decisively as had its previous version a year ago. More and more people are suspecting that Williams has been a burned-out writer for a long time; and many of these date the demise from the time Williams started undergoing psychoanalysis...
Kiddie Cars if Necessary. In early U.S. tests, recalls an Air Force general, liquid-fueled Atlas missiles "were blowing up like tin cans." But later improvements have raised the success average to about 70% . Of 199 Atlas firings, 137 have been successful. For liquid-fueled Titan I, the score reported by the Air Force is 47 successes, ten partial successes, seven failures. For Titan II, just becoming operational: 19 successes, seven partial successes, one failure. For the solid-fueled, Minuteman: 45 successes, eleven partial successes, nine failures...
