...playwright scene, Edward Albee is the emperor who has no clothes. People tend to forget that Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?* opened on Oct. 13, 1962. That drama is a work of permanence, and the expressions "a Virginia Woolf couple" or a "Virginia Woolf marriage" have drifted into common parlance. In the more than twelve years that have followed, Albee has written seven plays, and all of them put together possess the cumulative magnetic impact of a shelf of dead batteries...
...TIME, Dec. 8, 1967), was rather more effective in its original form as written by Britain's Giles Cooper than it was as rewritten by Albee, or so some critics said. After creating the wily priest and the slandering lawyer in Tiny Alice, the play that immediately followed Virginia Woolf, Albee no longer seemed able to invent any characters that possessed dramatic vigor. They all appeared to be suffering from acute spinal inertia and total mental ennui. Finally, he largely abandoned his strong suit, which was a flair for vituperatively explosive dialogue and bitchy humor. Instead, his characters have...
Gold Medal. Armed with a sizable travel budget and the inducement of 19 wrestling scholarships, O.S.U. Coach Tommy Chesbro has recruited in schools from Virginia to California. Last year he ended up with four of the nation's ten best high school wrestlers. Chesbro, once a State mat star, does not limit his scouting to the U.S. Two former O.S.U. grapplers now living in Japan keep him posted on blue-chip prospects there.

He's one of the best cinematographers in America now--he did Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, In the Hest of the Night, American Graffiti, and Medium Cool. Here he's filming North Vietnam and the liberated sections of South Vietnam--shots of Hanol, and the ruined Bach Mai Hospital, PRG soldiers, interviews with Le Duc Tho and others. All of this was done on very...
...Masters and Johnson have produced a nontechnical book that they expect to clear their name: The Pleasure Bond (Little, Brown; $8.95), written by Robert J. Levin, an editor of Redbook, from taped interviews with the researchers and taped seminars that they conducted in 1971 and 1972. For Virginia Johnson, Masters' wife since 1971, the book is a decade late: she wanted to write about the human problems of sex in the 1960s, but her doctor-husband insisted that they establish professional credentials by writing up their lab experiments first. Now, at last, she says, "I hope the whole mechanical...
