Military Jujitsu. Professional patriots have always been fair game for satire but few books have ever given them a lustier Bronx cheer than Joseph Heller's sprawling, farcical Catch-22. Yossarian, the Air Corps bombardier who doesn't want to fly any more missions for the mordantly sane reason that he might get killed, is a comic creation that has already become something of a classic. In typical black-humor fashion, Yossarinan's real adversary is nothing less than the whole mad, mucked-up system, the jujitsu with which the bombardier repeatedly sets the system...
...warmth of the play's humor is the lustier for the chill in the air, and Falstaff is almost the nimbler with his fortunes in decline. As in Part I, Eric Berry plays Falstaff with, fine, resourceful gusto; among his playmates, Gerry Jedd's Mistress Quickly, Franklin Cover's Silence and Ray Reinhardt's Pistol are all good, and John Heffernan's Shallow something better.

His world is gone and frequently he has to take refuge in dreams of his lustier youth, but Leander still sails the old Topaze like a Viking, still values a pretty woman in the way she likes to be valued. The Wapshot Chronicle is the story of Leander playing out his life as he sadly but not bitterly sees the rules being changed all about...
...radical change. Once CAB nursed along the fledgling industry by spoon-feeding it Government subsidies and holding back competition. Not only is this method now out-of-date; it does not fit an expanding industry. CAB Chairman Ross Rizley feels that the time has come for additional service, lustier competition and new route awards. The question is: How much new competition...
