Once again, most of the blame can be deposited on the front lawn of director Frank B. Hanson. Tufts has an extremely unusual stage. The audience completely surrounds the stage area, sort of in the style of a diminished Yale Bowl. Further, there are very few rows of seats, so nowhere are you more than a few feet from the actors. As the large majority of modern plays are written for the proscenium stage, or the room with three walls, as someone once called it, there are distinct problems of staging at Tufts. One of the most obvious of these...
Captain Schmitt, officially absolved of blame in the crash, offered his apologies to the townspeople, through the press, and 35 airmen attended Buddhist funeral services for the children. Though Kame-jiro Senaga, leader of the pro-Communist Minren Party, tried to make political capital out of the accident, no one else did, and most Okinawans seemed genuinely impressed by U.S. rescue efforts following the crash. And any critics would have to ignore a startling safety record: the crash caused the first Okinawan fatalities in 14 years of U.S. occupation...

They decry its lack of psychologic or philosophic depth; they bemoan its coarse language; they complain that almost none of it is in verse. Indeed the play is prose, but not prosaic. And the critics blame Shakespeare for not producing what he never had the slightest intention of producing. There is evidence that Queen Elizabeth I was so delighted with the character of Falstaff in the two parts of Henry IV that she commanded the writing of a play about Falstaff in love; and that...
...Crochet and their daughter Erie. This level the Tufts group does not provide. They fail, both in their line readings and in their movements, to convey any real feeling. Marilyn Rawlins as Mrs. Crochet fails less than the others. But the largest share of the blame should be laid at the feet of director Marston Balch, who has utterly failed to produce any unity, either of accent or of movement or of relationships in this performance. Tom Davis' picturesque and technically impressive set deserves high praise...
ALONG with the trust of the White House (he talks to President Eisenhower almost every day), Quesada has won the respect of almost everyone in Washington. When the House cut FAA's budget, he did not blame Congressmen, instead admitted: "I failed personally in not being able to convince the subcommittee of the urgency of our needs." Returning to the Hill, he turned on all burners-and his very best charm...
