...Notion of Motion. Jim was hardly even breathing hard. "He's a physiological phenomenon," said Texas Southern Coach Stan Wright. He certainly is. Already the No. 1 distance runner in history, Ryun still has most of his racing career ahead of him, and he has no notion of what his limits may be. "Faster," he shrugged. "I always feel I can run faster." So saying, he headed for the Top of the Mark in San Francisco to celebrate his record-smashing victory-only to get turned away because he was under...
...more forcefully expressed than in his B-Minor Clarinet Quintet, and it is refreshing to hear it played in a way that does not attempt to warp the long melodic lines. The Guarneri String Quartet, in the third concert of its Summer series at Sanders Theatre, with clarinetist Harold Wright, gave a reading of his quintet which was remarkable not only in its handling of phrasing, but in its precision of ensemble...

Going into the final round she was actually ahead-for the first time in her pro career-with a one-stroke...
...generally strong cast I would single out George Wright, Arthur Friedman and Jeff Tambor for particular praise. Wright shows us a King Henry who at first seems curiously light but whose capacity for working his will is slowly and impressively revealed to us. Friedman makes of the Spanish ambassador the supple but less than subtle diplomat he is meant to be while Tambor gives us a Thomas Cromwell of vulpine cunning and cruelty...
