Making his playwriting debut, Nightclub Comic Woody Allen fills the stage with a parade of gags that hurtle past like an insomniac's sheep, some woolly, some sheared and some weird. The evening is affluent with easy laughs, and yet curiously anemic in genuine humor. Lou Jacobi and Kay Medford are masters of ethnically styled comic delivery. He gives a line a built-in shrug. She is a one-woman keening committee, and her voice has a cold in its head. The couple's common burden is a Gentile nudnick of an embassy chief who has suffered every...

The gulf between the two is widened by the fact that the better-off Negro tends to demonstrate too little concern for those he has left behind. Almost alone among all U.S. ethnic groups, Negroes have...
Irondequoit, an affluent suburb of Rochester, N.Y., has taken 50 first-and second-graders from the city's Negro areas. In Los Angeles, 310 Negroes from first grade to high school have been transplanted daily into such upper-class neighborhoods as Bel Air. Cincinnati is bussing 100 city Negroes out of their neighborhoods, including some into its suburban perimeter...
