...threat of starvation is a constant companion of India's 480 million people, many of whom live at a bare subsistence level. With the problem looming even larger than usual this year, the free world last week rallied to feed its hungriest member before threat turns into reality. The U.S., which has already started moving 4,500,000 tons of grain to India, granted a $100 million loan for economic aid. Burma and Thailand agreed to sell more of their rice to India. France, West Germany and Japan started sending powdered milk and vitamins for children and nursing mothers...

It was the President's first trip outside the North American continent since entering the White House, and it was organized with the characteristic Johnsonian gusto for the unexpected.

El Tiempo also makes a point of hiring celebrities. Enrique Negron, the Bronx grocer who saved a policeman from a howling...
...America, We Bathe." Starting with its production of Robert Lowell's The Old Glory last season, the American Place Theater has been commendably true to its name. This is a theater group that strives to bare the roots of American experience, to record the resonances of the American locale. The strength of its current Hogan's Goat is its evocation of Irish character, customs and political power in the Brooklyn of 1890. Beneath the blather and the brogue, it is as if a well of ethnic memory had been tapped, and the making and unmaking of an American...
