...inaugural speech last year, Atlanta's Mayor Ivan Allen Jr. thus warned his fellow citizens of the effects of the Berlin Wall, which he had recently viewed. But last week Atlanta itself was divided by a pair of 2-ft.-10-in.-high steel-and-wood barricades set up by the city to prevent Negroes from moving into a white neighborhood...
...American Federation of Musicians, a podium he had occupied for 40 stormy years. Near the end of his 45-minute farewell, the old union dragon who lost his job by a narrow 95 votes in a recent election glanced up at a portrait of himself on the wall, sniffed tentatively and dissolved into tears on the ever-ready shoulder of Toastmaster George Jessel. Jessel, whose tear threshold is lower still, joined sympathetically in the sobs: "I can stand to see a woman cry-that can be fixed by a new fur coat...
Despite their best efforts, the actors seem to be playing with dramatic tire-works rather than setting the drama on fire. Part of the trouble is the arena stage: Desire's sense of puritanically suffocated beings seeps away on a wall-less stage, and, paradoxically, the movie-close-up intimacy of such a stage makes silence more dramatically potent than speech.

But the gallery paid little attention. By the time Palmer teed off for his final round, three strokes behind Wall, 5,000 jostling fans had enlisted in Arnie's Army, hoping for another of the blazing...
...around the course, scoreboards flashed the news of Palmer's rally, and his competitors began to falter. Art Wall bogeyed three holes in a row. Arnie himself faltered momentarily on the 11th: he drove into the rough, overshot the green with his approach, staggered through a double-bogey six. "It was.'' smiled Palmer, "an easy six." Again, on the par-3. 234yd. 17th, Palmer seemed in trouble. His No. 4 iron carried over the green on the nubby apron. 50 ft. from the pin. Palmer studied the lie. He pulled out a putter, punched the ball...
