...Vang Vieng, a military headquarters 65 miles north of the capital city of Vientiane, some 400 Pathet Lap launched a dawn attack and chased twice as many government troops 40 miles down the road toward the capital. Among the casualties: three members of a U.S. military mission intended to buck up the battle-bored Royal Laotian Army. A U.S. observer said grimly, "The army is pretty well finished for the time being. Its morale has hit rock bottom...
...anonymity is not likely to last. After a difficult day, Gleason issued from his penthouse at the George V looking, in spotless maroon jacket and pink shirt, like an Alp covered with wild flowers. He proceeded to the Olympia Music Hall, where his jazzbo buddies Pee Wee Russell and Buck Clayton were playing. Clayton dragged him onstage, and Gleason, whose French is limited to "encore doo van," got howls with a Gallic doubletalk routine. Later, he joked with French Clown Jacques Tati and wandered off to find late-evening brandy with his jazzmen and some 50 new fans...

William Allin Storrer, the director of the Harvard Gilbert and Sullivan Players' new production of Patience, is, unlike President Pusey, no man to buck tradition; and he has infested the opera buffa with no end of comic items--dragoons drop their rifles on each other's feet, march in the wrong direction, and traipse through interminable jerky morrices with the female chorus of "twenty lovesick maidens" (some twelve in number). One budding Cantinflas, Kenneth Tiger, is even made to flourish that old gag prop, the rubber sword...
