...announcement that director Joseph Anthony had retitled the play Falstaff. Now it is true that in Shakespeare's own lifetime the play was occasionally thus designated. And it is just as true that Falstaff is indeed the work's foremost figure. By this criterion we ought to turn Julius Caesar into Brutus, Cymbeline into Imogen, and The Merchant of Venice into Shylock...
...informal arrangements. The Unitarian Church of Montclair, N.J., recently handed town officials a check for $1,000 in token payment for services rendered. In Boston the Christian Scientists pay city taxes on all their properties except the Mother Church itself.

Since then, McNamara's foes on Capitol Hill have become increasingly incensed by his insistence on total control over the military establishment. The Rivers committee report demanded acerbically "whether we might not be better non-led by a mediocrity than be absolutely dominated by a Caesar."

Trouble was, Cindy, 36, kicked too hard. To bankroll the foundation's initial production of Handel's Julius Caesar last year, Kemper & Co. put the muscle on some 50 well-heeled friends to raise $140,000. The opera was a widely acclaimed success, but local cultural groups resented Cindy's steamrolling fund-raising tactics, and especially the insinuation that no other cultural enterprise in the city measured...
