Option Play. In Indianapolis, Delta Tau Delta fraternity brothers at Butler University welcomed one Ray Lincolnholl, highly recommended football prospect, as an overnight guest, next day found Lincolnholl missing, and so were a wristwatch, ring, sweater, leather belt, shaving kit, fountain pen, electric shaver and typewriter...
When & Where? Last week, in answer to a motion that the government "give urgent consideration to this question," Home Secretary Rab Butler was ready to make good a historic promise. Her Majesty's government, he told Parliament, would do something about the nation's crazy-quilt licensing laws at last. As things stand now, a London pub may stay open only nine hours each weekday, and these hours must be divided into 'one period around lunchtime and one period in the evening.

...mighty and miserable Adam, an 8-ft.-high study in human splendor and spiritual loss. Opposite him, Maillol's Chained Liberty strainingly strode.

At several points, e.g., when an elderly butler confesses in an aside that he himself is smitten with Lulu, the spectators usually break into titters. Musically more advanced than Berg's only other opera, Wozzeck (TIME, March 16), Lulu has little of Wozzeck's compelling dramatic power. Remarkably, only 25 years after its premiere, the most experimental opera of one of the century's most experimental...
