...Castro from his quondam admirers. "The pit between Cuba's leaders and the non-Communist European or Latin American Left is being dug deeper," wrote Marcel Niedergang, a longtime friend and supporter of Castro, in France's Le Monde.

...TRASH is hilarious because Holly Woodlawn is a camic genius, a kind of funky Will Rogers in drag. She and Jane Forth are sorely missed in Flesh. and the verbal gags that remain to embroider the acres of skin rarely reach the preposterous level of charm that Flesh's successor maintains.

So far, no Guardsman has revealed what was said at that huddle. "It is inconceivable," Michener concludes, "that the 76 men who were penned in on the field that day will be able to maintain their wall of silence indefinitely. In the years that lie ahead, someone will talk, and a flood of testimony will...
Nash practices were lengthy and spartan. He was accused of having recruited prospects whose academic abilities fell far below Ivy standards. Several times critics claimed that he attempted to use verbal psyche tactics on rival oarsmen before important races. His supposedly manic pursuit of victory created enemies...
