When he picks up the mallet and helmet, Britain's polo-playing Prince Philip, 42, has to take his royal lumps like anyone else. Two years ago, he broke a bone in his left ankle. Last month he fell from his pony, bruised his shoulder. In the Midhurst Town Cup semifinals, Philip, with one goal already to his credit, was hard on the attack when his left elbow was slashed by another player's loose bridle. Pausing only for a hasty bandaging, he re-entered the game and scored another goal, helping his Windsor Park team...
...what one critic called "Shakehall's Henry VI," the emphasis is not on rhetoric but on clarity, with speeches cut to their meaningful core and with action bared to the bone of violence. When writing bridge passages and interpolations, Co-Adapter Barton went back to Shakespeare's own source books-the Chronicles of Holinshed, Hall and Grafton.

Unfortunately, in telling of her crowded life, she skims from high spot to high spot with bone-jarring haste and mind-numbing cheerfulness ("Lucky me, to have had this rewarding experience . . ."). But anyone looking at the pictures will recognize that though she may fumble self-consciously with words, her eye is unerring...
...Spaniards have been grumbling again. Only Chinese Spaniards could find work in Peking. Bronston appeased the nation with touching short subjects. While filming Peking, he made a moving documentary about Franco's war memorial at the Valley of the Fallen. Last month he brought out a second documentary bone - this one about a Mallorcan friar who founded numerous California missions. Chief Justice Earl Warren generously contributed his presence to the Mallorcan premiere...
