Those people are a trio of British middle-class couples, all related, who are brought together by happenstance for 48 hours of squabbling, eating, drinking and fondling. The action is ignited by the only live wire in the group, an assistant librarian named Norman. Though in most ways ordinary, Norman believes it is his mission in life to make women happy by showering them with love. Employing his considerable resources of charm and empathy, he tries to seduce both his dreary sisters-in-law ? even as he maintains his relationship with his wife...
Some weeks later, the duke goes to Maurizio's tobacco shop to deliver 800 million lire ($925,000) in ransom. Soon Giovanna is released and reunited with her parents.

The Chorus then sings the plaintive Benche liberata sia, Daniel ha rapito il suo cuore ribelle (Though freed is she, Daniel has kidnaped her rebellious heart).

In a troubled climate of high unemployment with a flimsy sugar-cane economy, Bradshaw clung to power chiefly because of his adaptability. A onetime bicycle mechanic and cane cutter, he rose as a labor organizer, attained political power and preached nationalism while flaunting cutaways and a yellow Rolls-Royce. When Britain's colonial hold eased in 1967, Bradshaw was voted into the first of three terms as Prime...
Paul Stookey "sings to his plants" on his Maine farm. Peter Yarrow is co-producing a television special about the adventures of Puff the Magic Dragon. Mary Travers spins out solo albums. Ever since they disbanded seven years ago, the folk-singing trio have kept music on their minds, and now comes a coda: a P-P-M reunion. Last week the three announced that they will cut a record and in August they will set out on a monthlong, 17-city tour. "We're living in a different time now, so some of the styles may make some...
