Artaud's vision encompassed a theater that could sweep through an audience like a plague, be as direct as a bullet, release the torments and ecstasies that may be found in death, martyrdom and love. He felt that the theater was strangling in words and could be reborn only through signs, sounds and the primitive force of myth. Above all, he wanted a burning intensity to be felt in the theater that would sear an audience: "The spectator who comes to us knows that he has agreed to undergo a true operation, where not only his mind...

With end Peter Varney and tackle Fritz Reed returning to the starting lineup, the Crimson will have the left side of its offensive line intact once again, and Smith can run the power sweep to either side without worrying about its reduced effectiveness...

The Oriole pitching staff, headed by Mike Cuellar (23-11), Dave McNally (20-7) and Jim Palmer (16-4), is far superior to Atlanta's. And the team boasts such established stars as Outfielder Frank Robinson, Third Baseman Brooks Robinson and First Baseman Boog Powell, who helped the Orioles build...
