...midstroke, Glover splashed to a stop at the shallow end of the pool, then grabbed the gutter with both hands. "John, have you got a cramp?" asked an assistant coach. "Can I help you?" John Glover slumped back into the water, his eyes closed. Some swimmers grabbed him and lifted him to the deck, face down. He groaned two or three times, but he did not respond to artificial respiration. A Pulmotor did not help. An ambulance rushed Glover to the hospital but he was dead when it got there...
...trouble at all, says Roberts, it is his shallow curve. "I'm always hoping I can improve that curve. I must have changed that curve nine or ten times. I'll see Maglie throw and say, 'Gee, it'd be nice to have that curve.' But if I try to throw it that way, it hurts my arm. Mainly I try to count on a good fast ball that moves...
...grisly game of hide-and-seek with the infiltrators. Clues were stiffening bodies, blown-up irrigation pipes, wrecked rail lines, burnt-out cars and trucks-a trail of death running between the fields of ripening corn, blossom-scented orange groves, drying creek beds and shifting dunes, to the shallow trench that divides Israel from the refugee-jammed Gaza strip.

Chekhov's provincial tale of pathetically muffed chances and comically muddled lives, of a pompous fool for whom better people have toiled and a shallow woman with whom better men are infatuated, is wonderfully life-sized and life-stained. Compared to The Three Sisters or The Cherry Orchard, Vanya has little resonance or fragrance: it offers fly-specks rather than patina, flatted notes oftener than chords. Chekhov boils down his characters' moral attitudes...
...Jaffe's role as the cool and precise master-mind of a jewel robbery is well-conceived. Jaffe is not shallow; he learns that an old man must not think about young girls, and seems quite willing to accept this sage ethic. Louis Calhern's part involves an early and unlikely double-cross from which, as far as the story goes, he never recovers. But he, too, sees his errors, commits suicide, and the Witches are all happy again. playing at being Calhern's moll, a young starlet named Marilyn Monroe in her first performance reaches the peak...
