...this figure ignores double-membership and the flock of joiners whose last "activity" may be plunking down $1.50 for the privilege of belonging. In the Liberal Union, for example, only 15 of 50 members "regularly attend business meetings," and such is the general pattern. Furthermore, a number of clubs appear "rather relaxed," as one president wryly said, and even "active" members do little...
...button to wear, a sticker to put in the windows, a speech to hear, a leaflet to hand out, then students flock to the clubs. Often, new groups are formed. Dean Watson fully expects a Students for Nixon, for Kennedy, and for whoever else strikes the student fancy, to appear in the next year...

Melvyn Douglas kicks up a clog with a couple of cronies in a pub, and suddenly all Dublin floods onstage to sing that he's a Daarlin' Man, and hoist him on its shoulders. The intimate numbers are best. An Agnes de Mille solo, powerfully danced by Juno's doomed son (Tommy Rail), makes a poignant moment out of the life-destroying blight of Ireland's "Troubles." Two lovers' laments, One Kind Word and For Love, affectingly...
