...have simply disappeared, reports TIME Correspondent Joseph Kane, after visiting the 170,000-acre naval complex at San Diego, home to 89,200 Navy men and women (17% of the entire Navy). The grounds of the naval training center now look more like a college campus than a military base, with many sailors sporting blue denims. The hefty pay raises (a seaman E-3 makes $460 monthly in base pay, compared with $99 in 1958) mean that most sailors can afford apartments in San Diego. Petty Officer Third Class Anthony Moseby, 23, for one, can. This means that each weekday...
Basically, Castro gets caught in a hot-box between third base and home plate: It's difficult to ride Camus roughshod, and it's difficult to teach a course in French existentialism in three hours to theater-goers who probably came to escape that very thing. More importantly, it's absolutely impossible to do both and expect your play to make a lasting impression, especially when you're working with students. Castro was overly ambitious when he chose Caligula for members of the experimental ensemble...
CASTRO'S AMBIVALENCE about emphasizing passion or philosophy mars the entire production--the performance ends up fuzzy, focusing on neither theme. This swinging back-and-forth results in passion when a delicate appreciation of the philosophical base of the play is more appropriate, or staunch underplaying when intensity is required.

In an attempt to make Scipio...
...party thinks I should stay on, I will again accept that responsibility. But if the party believes that the role should go to someone else, I will return to the base, my party card in my pocket, and work once again as a militant for the victory of socialism and of Communism...
Despite the need for, and advantages of, solar energy, there has not yet arisen a strong base of grassroots support for solar development. One reason is common ignorance of the continuing energy crisis and of the inability of nuclear power to safely meet national, or international, energy needs. El Camino owners still fly down the pikes doing CB 70 flashing a chrome-framed message from their jacked-up bumpers: I hope all of you ecological bastards freeze to death in the dark. A second reason is the lack of effective leadership--field representatives from national Sun Day headquarters...
