...this group of talented students and internationally known professionals performed four infrequently heard works with their usual conviction and energy. Leon Kirchner, whose talents as a coach were in evidence throughout the concert, showed himself to be a formidable triple threat by appearing as the pianist in his own Trio for Piano, Violin and Cello (1954). This piece uses a dissonant, non-tonal vocabulary, articulated in driving rhythms and evocative melodic fragments. The result is an almost Romantic sense of clearly defined broad gestures. Kirchner, along with violinist Donald Weilerstein and cellist Laurence Lesser, responded to these qualities...
...numbers. Ricardo has an elastic body and a fertile choreographic imagination--he's even managed to design a dance for seven people linked together in handcuffs. Two of the best numbers in the show are the dance routines that Ricardo does with the Girls--they're and empty-headed trio that does nothing but run around and giggle and snuggle up to Jimmy, but they make a great chorus line...
This perfectly ill-assorted trio sets out in the Orca, Quint's leaky craft, to bring the marauding great white to his reward. Ideal adversary that he is, the shark proves stronger and more wily than anyone suspected. The men go after him with rifles. They try to slow him down with barrels, fight him, tire him, tow him. In desperation Hooper descends below the surface in a shark cage (the sequence for which Carl Rizzo was hired), armed with a poison gun that will get the job done-if he can shoot it directly into the creature...

Before Castro overthrew Dictator Fulgencio Batista in 1959, the three men controlled a race track and a huge gambling casino near Havana. When Castro took power, he banished the three. The trio left behind $450,000, which they asked friends to hold for them. The money, the take from the casino's last days, belonged to Mafia clans in New York, Chicago and Pittsburgh...
...Mafia trio had good reason to encourage the invasion: if Castro fell, they had a chance not only to retrieve what was left of the $450,000 but possibly to return to their lucrative business in Havana. In addition, Plumeri and Granello had secretly left behind another $300,000, which they had got by short-changing the mob on the take from the gambling casino. The money was buried in a field outside Havana...
