What Playwright Reynolds has deftly and sometimes poignantly done with in the guise of rollicking humor is to treat sport as a metaphor for the perils of imminent middle age. It is not the batters whom Duke hates the most but the loss of physical powers, of fame, of the only work he is qualified to do. Tony Lo Bianco captures every nuance of this, and his evening on the mound is a dramatically blazing no-hitter...
Race aside, the post-Elijah Muslims are in for some changes. Wallace announced plans to form a brain trust of Muslim leaders across the country to seek solutions to social ills, a scholarship program for high school youths, and a center to treat mental illness. He has also appointed the movement's first woman minister. While maintaining traditional Muslim secrecy about overall membership (estimated at between 50,000 and 100,000, though higher figures are often used), Wallace revealed the dollar dimensions of Elijah's legacy: the Muslims have investments of $14.5 million in Chicago property...

In any case, Wolfe is inept at dealing with thought, and his account of Steinberg's and Greenberg's criticism is utterly garbled. He cannot treat their writings as argument, only as manipulation. He seems not to have read them, only read about them. He imagines, for instance, that Greenberg somehow invented the issue of pictorial flatness, which had been a subject of continual debate among European artists and critics since the days of Maurice Denis...
...well their first year, but gradually loss interest in their duties. Phifer, who visits over 30 clubs a year, tries to prod officers to hold regular meetings and offers advice on getting speakers, putting on seminars, and lowering costs, but the officers he supervises are volunteers, and he must treat them gently...
