...their other enterprises too, the Beatles are reaching out for total artistic autonomy. They are talking about directing their next film themselves. Last week they careened through the southwest English countryside filming Magical Mystery Tour, an hour-long TV special, for worldwide broadcast during the Christmas season. They are not only providing music but writing, directing, producing and financing as well. When it is wrapped up to their satisfaction, they will offer it to the highest bidder. And they have already written songs-later this year they may do a full score -for a forthcoming feature-length animated cartoon based...
...addressing itself to "the British government's utterly hideous and ferocious features of fascist imperialism." Britain's man in Peking, Charge d'Affaires Donald Hopson, 52, a cool, much-decorated World War II commando offi cer, simply refused to send it to London.

He succeeded, and last week the freed emissaries returned to Peking and a hero's welcome at the airport by Maoist officials including Chou and Mrs. Mao and tens of thou sands of cheering Pekingese...
...celebrated trio of witches, Houseman has taken up Margaret Webster's suggestion that "we should see as little as possible of the Witches in the flesh of actors or actresses." In all three of their scenes, their voices are broadcast in a strong whisper over loudspeakers. In the first and third, they are not visible at all; and in the second they are represented by vaguely moving black shapes scarcely perceptible on the almost totally dark stage.
