Following Sands' lead, Don Pompan grabbed a 6-2, 6-4 win at number two. The Crimson, captain never let Glenn Layendecker catch his breath as he chased the Yalie all over the court with pin-point volleying...
...stitched this musical together by taking scenes from Jesus' life and Biblical parables and stringing them together with modern connotations and references to current events. The cast of nine, seven followers. John the Baptist, and Christ, perform each scene, racing through interpretations of Christ's teachings with hardly a breath in between. The roles of the disciples, though loosely defined, make up a chorus. The fast pace, rhythmic folk-rock arrangements and wide amplitude of the dance movement create an atmosphere of joyous anticipation. Each song builds to this climax and a break from the rapid-fire skits...
Still, Boorman provides some dazzling images: Uther riding across a sea of dragon's breath: a bizarre scene that crosscuts an act of adultery with the gruesome death of the betrayed husband: Perceval, hanging, nearly dead, as his Other Self reaches for the Holy Grail.

...factory sirens began to wail at 8 a.m., and for the next four hours all Poland held its breath. In Warsaw, trams and buses draped with red-and-white national flags sat idle in their barns. In Silesia, brawny coal miners folded their arms and refused to descend into the mines. In the Baltic port of Gdansk, where last summer's strikes first launched Poland on its present, breathtakingly dangerous course, shipyard workers laid down their welding torches and rivet guns...
