...says Evans, "the traditional clatter of politics makes very little sense. They would rather have solutions." Perhaps the paramount issue, to Evans, is the racial upheaval. As he told Negro leaders in Tacoma last year: "We cannot afford to put the lid on the cauldron of seething problems and call that law and order. We must instead find solutions, and call that social justice...
...somehow convinced the Russians to quietly forget the demands made in a quasi-ultimatum issued last month after a meeting in Warsaw with their hard-lining allies. At Cierna, he successfully resisted Soviet insistence that he restore censorship and ban non-Communist political organizations. He rebuffed the Russian call for a permanent Soviet garrison in Czechoslovakia to defend the country's borders with West Germany. More important, he got the Russians to pull out at last thousands of troops that had come to Czechoslovakia in June for Warsaw Pact maneuvers and had never gone home...
Rudolf Nureyev may call himself a stateless person since his defection from Russia seven years ago, but that didn't stop Uncle Sam from clamping a claim on him. According to the Internal Revenue Service, the practically peerless dancer owes $30,642.70 in back taxes for 1963.

Decrees of the Second Vatican Council, although not explicity endorsing contraception, strongly defended the principle of responsible parenthood and the right of couples to decide for themselves the size of their families. A clear majority of the church's most articulate moral theologians-sometimes with...
...credit, there are several first-rate tunes and some pretty fair lyrics in Her First Roman. I like a number called "Rome" for both elements, especially the following lyric: "Rome: I long to be at her side, a groom with his day-old bride, trading my dusty sandals for a home." And "Many Young Men From Now" has the added virtue of relevance, not only to the show but to the original play and to Cleopatra as Shaw conceived her. Drake would do well, however, to drop such hack-work as (from a song called "The Wrong Man"): "The world...
