...clear that he has the technique to do just about anything he's told to do. Shakespeare needed Richard as preparation for Hamlet; reversing the process, Madden brought to Richard the experience of having rather impressively played Hamlet at the Phoenix Theatre in New York in 1961. The blame for his current shortcomings must be laid almost entirely to the director, who has, I may say, done most of the rest of his work here quite laudably...
...barred store windows of Chicago's South Side slums. A loosely organized army numbering perhaps 2,500, the Rangers hold their neighborhoods in thrall. So far this year, 36 Chicagoans under 21 have been murdered, most of them in juvenile warfare for which the Rangers get the blame. Recruiters even pull pre-teenagers into the ranks, and one triggerman of 14 said that he had carried out a killing...
...summoning Brandt to East Berlin, the Soviets served notice that they will use their influence to frustrate Bonn's efforts to enjoy better relations with other Communist states until Bonn extends its desire for détente to Ulbricht's fiefdom.

In this situation, government cannot act hastily. "Concessions sufficient to induce one side to abandon violence might be sufficient to induce the other...

Many stockholders, particularly heirs of Founder George Huntington Hartford, who started the chain 109 years ago, place much of the blame on a foundation set up by Hartford's sons, John A. and George L. Hartford, which holds the biggest single block (34%) of A. & P. stock. They maintain that the management-dominated foundation (eight of ten trustees are present or past A. & P. executives) in effect runs the company...
