Carrying the Fire displays less tolerance for some of the others, notably the Apollo 7 crew: "Wally [Schirra] was late every morning, never apologized, and never tried to catch up with the schedule but wasted instead another 45 minutes on guffaws, coffee and war stories . . . [Walt] Cunningham bitched constantly, at Wally and the world, and [Donn] Eisele served as a good-natured referee who didn't quite understand what was going on half the time...
Lining up a free throw against the Lakers, Walt Frazier is weighing the basketball in his hands, letting things simmer just a minute. He is about to let go and he hears a voice, loud and gleeful, come right out of the stands clear across to him: "Hey, man-you're the fourth-best guard in the league right now, and you ain 't movin' up 'till somebody dies!"

Alice in Wonderland, Disney's cartoon version of Lewis Carroll's classic, is the big event at the Welles this week. Disney's biographer insists that wonderful Walt was not a member of the John Birch Society, and if that's the case you might as well see the movie because it's sort of fun. But don't be fooled by all the hype: It's not all that great and if you're going for the art it's no Fantasia...
