...drama is political or social "confrontation," Repelled by what they consider to be the sterile fantasy land of conventional playhouses, the guerrilla troupes prefer the realism of open-air settings for dramatizing their message to children, students, workers and activists. Naturally, the values of the Broadway stage are anathema to them. "You cannot respond to junk like Tennessee Williams or Arthur Miller," insists Luis Valdez, an alumnus of the Mime Troupe and founder of El Teatro Campesino. "Art is communication.

Maryland's Negroes had helped boost Agnew to victory in 1966 and generally considered him a firm friend. After April, his black support shriveled virtually to nothing.

CBS, NBC and such large station groups as Cox, Westinghouse, Time-Life and Storer have all moved into the CATV business. As a consequence, about 30% of the nation's operating cable systems are owned by conventional broadcasters...
John Endecott, sometime Governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, has come to the settlement of Merry Mount, near Wollaston, Mass., with the intent to chastise its inhabitants. Merry Mount is anathema to the Puritans because it is an enclave of happiness, fostering a live-and-let-live philosophy, indulging in such rites as dancing around the Maypole. Its leader, Thomas Morton, flauntingly lives with the daughter of the local Indian chief, and carries on a thriving fur trade with the Indians by the dangerous practice of selling them firearms and liquor...
