...major population centers of California, the use of marijuana (alias "boo," "grass," "tea" or "Mary Jane") is so widespread that pot must be considered an integral part of the generation's life experience. Insiders say that no fewer than 50% of Los Angeles high school students have tried marijuana at least once, and that 25% use it regularly once or twice a week. At Berkeley, marijuana has given way to acid, which costs $2.50 per trip v. $2 for a milder marijuana kick.

When it was concluded at the opening performance, one outraged man in the audience let out with a resounding boo; and only critical decorum prevented its being joined by at least one more. Joyce--and anyone else essaying the role--should study and restudy Marlon Brando's glorious Antony in the 1953 movie version...

The owner of the Brattle and Harvard Square Theatres says that "Harvard Square audiences are the most sophisticated in the United States. . . . they stamp their feet, boo, whistle, and write letters." The CRIMSON elects a girl managing editor and the entire country behaves like a Harvard Square audience...
