...Goldberg Variations runs unbroken for 80 minutes-one of the longest nonstory ballets ever produced. It demands, and successfully commands, total attention through sheer mastery of what choreography can create for the human body to perform. Time and again Robbins presents familiar patterns and movements that somehow give the impression that they have never been danced before. Time and again the dances add nuanced dimensions to the music in much the same way that a first-rate pianist will do by playing...
...A.A.U. championships that year, Liquori streaked home in 3 min. 59.8 sec. to shatter the four-minute barrier for the first time in his career. The crowd cheered-but not for Marty. He finished seventh, a full 70 yds. behind Ryun, who set a new-and still unbroken-world record of 3 min. 51.1 sec. for the mile. Last week the two met again in a race that was billed as the Super Mile. And super it was, as Liquori narrowly defeated Ryun in what amounted to the first lap of a long, long race that is likely...
...suggest that the little bourgeois revolutionaries of Harvard who regard such tracts as only verbal exercises should get off their campus and see what the real world is like.

The most dangerous consequence of infallibility, in Kűng's opinion, is the way it colors the "ordinary" teaching office of the church. Pope Paul VI's birth control encyclical...
...with horns on the brain, Brian Bedford is a comic marvel. His face is an ever-changing panorama of unholy glee, bottomless despair, and a sour-pickle sneer. With an unbroken, intuitive authority, he leads the way to the vital intersection of Molière's genius, the place where la vie tragique meets la vie triviale. The ultimate humanity of Molière is that he can make an audience laugh at a man's folly, then make the audience feel how that foolish man suffers, and finally make us all realize just who that suffering fool...
