...Harvard, Kunstler enlists the aid of Irven Devore, who writes in the current National Geographic that if we start giving intelligence tests to animals the turkeys will soon take over the world. One hundred seven faculty members sign a petition written by Archibald Cox urging that Devore be fired or censured and attributing the turkey test scores to "cultural conditioning." Asked why he no longer supported the right of any professor to publish his theories, Cox said he merely objected to the publication of such controversial ideas in a mass magazine without testing them first in a scholarly journal such...
...supposed to be older than they are. Frank Leupold, as the old man, Sorin, exaggerates his senility too much to be effective. Scott Munerbrook, as the successful writer Trigorin, on the other hand, looks and acts too young for the part.

...Public Eye. Set in an accountant's office--overwhelmed, I should say, since Robert McCleary's mile-high flats make the set just about as intimate as the rare books room of the British Museum--the play consists largely of dialogue between a stuffy English husband-type (John Archibald), a loudly attired private detective (Peter Kazaras), and, eventually, the frighteningly energetic wife (Melissa Mueller) who is the subject of their investigation.

Makes...
During the decades that saw the League's failure, the disintegration of Europe, the second World War and then the cold war, Armstrong was a reflective and sometimes provocative presence. When Harvard Historian Archibald Cary Coolidge started the quarterly Foreign Affairs in 1922, Armstrong became its managing editor and, at Coolidge's death in 1928, its editor. There he remained until he retired recently, to be replaced by William Bundy (TIME, Sept...
