BARNUM AND KNOX complement each others' strengths again as Conchubar and Cuchulain in On Baile's Strand, but this play uses the relationship of two lesser characters, the Blind Man and the Fool, to equal purpose in commenting on the progress of Cuchulain's life. Peter Wirth and Joel Davidson succeed only partially in filling these two roles with intelligent but unrealized interpretations. Director Donnally Miller emphasizes the mutual dependence of the two half-men well enough, but the scenes where they're alone, ideal for comic improvisation, drag more than they should...
...month contracts agreed upon by the police and firemen. DeLury balked, going after a 27-month contract instead, with more benefits and overtime provisions. He defends his position by saying that his men "do a production job--we don't wait for a panic button to respond." "The whole complement of sanitationmen is out on the streets every day. It's constant production work; a sanitation man walks an average of 14 miles a day, doing a job that has the highest rate of injuries in the United States next to logging...

How, if at all, would you reorder your personal or professional life? Letters should be kept below 200 words and sent to TIME, Time & Life Building...
...size, South Viet Nam's 1,100,000-man military machine is second in Asia only to China's. Saigon's air force is supposed to receive its full complement of 1,200 aircraft before the end of 1973. That goal may not be reached on schedule, but the South Vietnamese already account for 90% of the air activity within their own borders. They also account for nearly 100% of the casualties, both ground and air. During the past few months, ARVN soldiers have been dying at the staggering rate-in view of the low level...
