...Gish), Actresses (Geraldine Fitzgerald and Kitty Carlisle), Politicals (Senator and Mrs. Jacob Javits), and Literary-Socials (Truman Capote and George Plimpton). Winsomely self-deprecating, perched on his chair rather than sitting in it, the guest of honor basked in so much high-powered appreciation-humming delightedly along with Showman Adolph Green's near total recall of the themes from Chaplin's film scores. It was almost like old times...
Last week marked the end of the career of Wooden's only rival in the pantheon of college basketball coaches, Adolph Frederick Rupp. After 42 years as coach at the University of Kentucky, the rambunctious Rupp-often called "The Baron" and sometimes "Old Rupp and Ready"-finally and reluctantly capitulated to age. He passed the university's mandatory retirement age of 70 this past season, and a statewide campaign by well-wishers failed to have the rule waived. Largely because of his long tenure at Kentucky, Rupp's teams have won more games (879) than Wooden...
...behind all the charlatanerie and press releases, is Driesell, and his recruiting genius, Ravelling. Whether Driesell is a good technical coach is open to debate.

...Taylor), is both possessive and plaintive, one of those women who suck up so much of the oxygen in a room that no one else can breathe. Her thirtyish daughter Alberta (Frances Foster) is all nerves-lonely, desperate and starved for a man's caressing hands. Uncle Doc (Adolph Caesar) is an alcoholic numbers player...
...begin with, this musical about gobs on an amorous shore leave never ranked as more than a passing diversion. The book and lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green bear the same resemblance to a great musical comedy that Levittown does to the Taj Mahal. Ron Field, director and coproducer, has enlarged the definition of chutzpah by re-choreographing the Jerome Robbins dance numbers. Leonard Bernstein's music holds up best, and its peppy dissonances and romantic melodic line serve to season the overall inanity. Key Performers Bernadette Peters, Phyllis Newman, Donna McKechnie, Ron Husmann, Jess Richards and Remak...
