...bitter opposition, for the town, stood a majority of the Harris County Medical Society and its top officers. Mostly family doctors and general surgeons, they resented being frozen out of hospital staffs. were especially incensed at not being allowed to do even straightforward surgery in teaching hospitals. The county society demanded that the new Jefferson Davis rise on the hospital's present downtown site (on Buffalo Drive, four miles from the Medical Center), that the society should partly staff it and get one-third of the seats on its board. Result: every time Baylor University and the city fathers...
...play is mainly about love, but it is also about hate--which brings us to Shylock. There must be at least half as many ways to play Shylock as to play Hamlet, and most of them have been tried. Max Adrian gives us an unsympathetic Shylock--bitter, gloating, sadistic. Adrian is constitutionally incapable of doing a slipshod job; and this is a distinguished performance.

Adrian's Shylock is simpler and more straightforward, and wholly consistent...

Asked to comment on a tract by Author Philip Toynbee (who argued that nuclear destruction was so terrible that the only solution was immediate disarmament and peace with the Russians on any terms, even surrender), the Archbishop had replied with a tart reminder that man cannot live by dread alone. Wrote the Archbishop...
Last week, after 38 bitter days, Inquirer and Guild finally came to terms. The Guild won a pay raise ($3-$5 a week for the next year) plus an arbitration clause for disputed firings, a shield against anticipated cutbacks. But when the workers returned to their jobs, they found new work schedules that penalized strikers in favor of strikebreakers; e.g., Amusement Page Editor Henry Murdock was assigned to work for Reviewer Barbara Wilson, a former subordinate who had been given his editorship. The Teamsters threatened to walk out once more unless the old assignments were reinstated...
