...love, Ophelia's frail readiness to be her father's pawn-all these nauseate him. Yet his antic disposition never leaves him, and a Hamlet has never been presented with so much caustic wit. With this performance, Nicol Williamson has turned a page in the book of acting...
...luncheon Nancy Fielding and her husband had arranged for the TIME team," says Martin. "Our correspondent, Gavin Scott, and Photographer Ben Martin were already there, awash in the famed Fielding charm. I had to keep reminding myself that however much we liked him, we also had to evaluate his book." For Martin, the most memorable moment of the visit was reached at dinner, when Fielding proposed a toast. The convivial host explained that it was an old Danish custom to make toasts that played on the name of the guest. Peter was easy: "The rock, the anchor, the beginning. . ."Gavin...
...newsroom last week, I thought it might be only nostalgia or naivete that made me think that Harvard yearbooks were once much better-like in my freshman year. But there it was-dark red with black lettering on the cover just like this year's-an honest-to-God book worth saving, with more than a dozen Faculty profiles, good features on Harvard music and the Design School, and a long anthology of the best writing from undergraduate publications.

Part of the Yearbook's problem with student radicalism may be attributed to the traditional dilemma of sending the book to the printers when the year is only two-thirds done. Spring 1969 was a particularly unfortunate Spring to miss, and Three Thirty Three has rallied with a sixteen-page supplement on the occupation, bust, and strike. But the insensitivity is still evident. The Yearbook photographers are sensationally good on the dismay of the early-morning spectators at University Hall and the excitement of the crowd and participants at the first mass meeting. But they tell almost nothing about what...
