...complaints that Nikita Khrushchev has leveled against the West, one of the angriest is that the NATO nations are threatening the Iron Curtain countries with a ring of nuclear missile bases. Great Britain already has Thor bases, and Jupiter is on the way to Italy. Last week from Washington came reports that still another base for 1,000-mile IRBMs will soon be installed. The site: Turkey...

Then they voted in nine management nominees to fill ten empty seats...
...good play, but it was so noisy, so bouncy, and its wheels spun so fast that most onlookers caught the illusion of movement. Soon after Anger opened last May in London's equivalent of an off-Broadway theater, Playwright Osborne was hailed not only as Britain's angriest young man, but as the theater's rediscoverer of Britain's neglected lower-middle-class snob. Anger's hero, afflicted by a miserable childhood and his flops as a vacuum-cleaner salesman and a bandleader, speaks his outraged pieces on such hallowed British institutions as the scandalous...
