Haunches & Knuckles. It sounds like utter gobbledygook until Jordan explains what he means by "playing keys." In simplest terms it means to study an opponent, searching for clues to his intentions, then outmaneuvering him to break up the play. It can be as simple as noting the direction of an enemy lineman's charge-and divining that the play will go the opposite way. It can also be pretty cute. "When an offensive guard comes up to the line," says Tackle Ray Jacobs of the American Football League's Miami Dolphins, "I watch the way he sets himself...
...petition-pushing interns should not be handed only part of the blame: they deserve it all. Actually, the episode eloquently illustrates not so much their "alienation" from the power structure as their utter misunderstanding of how to affect it all. At a time when the vacationing campus activists were but a few paces from a man with whom they could speak and get his attention (namely, the Member), they worked themselves up over an anti-war petition to-- of all people--Lyndon Johnson. The anger expressed by some interns at the President's refusal to meet with them and receive...
...appeared. Columnists Rowland Evans and Robert Novak came out with a story noting underground complaints about Speaker John McCormack, and there was a sudden outpouring of sympathy for the Speaker, a well-loved figure, and just about any bill he wanted.

...strength of Derek Goldby's direction cannot keep segments of the drama from dialogyness. There is nothing logy about Brian Murray and John Wood in the taxing title roles. Every shifting breeze of the play's moods crosses their faces: they can summon up anxiety, false courage, utter bafflement, and honest fear with a flick of the lip, or a twist of the torso. They give the play's mind a body, and make R. and G. an evening for the playgoer who seeks not to forget but to know himself...
...this tour was Bellini's I Capuleti e i Montecchi, a bel canto relic that the company recently revived after a century of relative neglect. A retelling of the Romeo and Juliet story that owes little to Shakespeare, Capuleti, with Bellini's intimate scale, pervading sweetness and utter predictability, is a distinct contrast to Verdi's powerful, primitive themes and vaulting imagination. But the company -notably the two leads, Tenor Giacomo Aragall and Soprano Renata Scotto-traded the flawed gusto of its Trovatore and Nabucco performances for restraint and quiet artistry, making Capuleti the only production...
