...biggest flaps in Australian tennis history by berating officials, swearing on court, hitting balls into the stands, and even heaving their rackets at spectators. Snapped Australian Tennis Boss Norman Strange: "Disgusting. In 36 years of tennis I have never seen anything so bad as their court behavior." Another official suggested that the young Americans, particularly Buchholz, needed "a swift kick in the pants." After Sirola's win, the Australian press gleefully reported that the Americans blew off steam in their dressing room by knocking a couple of holes in the wall. Later they enlivened an airline flight to Sydney...
...pedodontist offers no sympathy, only a businesslike proposal: "Today we're going to look at your teeth, and then you're going home." When the unbelieving child opens his mouth to cry, the dentist quickly says, "Good. We saw your teeth. Now go home." Bills for such "behavior orientation" sessions range from $5 to $25, but few parents argue about cost if the child's fear of the dentist is relieved.

Then the F.L.N. could achieve power by peaceful political process. Explained a Tunisian official: "If De Gaulle's latest behavior reflects a sincere desire to decolonize Algeria-and we think it does-there will soon be no point in the F.L.N.'s carrying on a shooting war or receiving massive military aid from the Communists...
...play seem insufficient and even flat: scenes lack outward drama without displaying any of Agee's inner force. But, with good performances by Colleen Dewhurst, Arthur Hill, Aline MacMahon and John Megna (as the small son), the people, most of them, smell of life and their behavior smacks of truth. Miles apart as in many ways they are, Agee, like Chekhov, really substituted feeling for drama, like Chekhov tinged sadness with humor, and showed a compassion that though it might not acquit errant beings, would always pardon them. It is for such things that All the Way Home, whatever...
