...singing? Why does the sea rush to shore? I may have often advised you incorrectly, but I have been right some of the time, and who can blame me for predicting Harvard over Brown? Even the four sports writers for the Brown Daily Herald picked the Cantabs, as they call John Yovicsin's boys. And as long as we've got space to fill, I might as well make four more guesses this week...
...Miss America, but their elaborate plans to have her denounce the contest from within fizzled. At Grinnell College in Iowa last February coeds stripped to the buff when a speaker expounded the Playboy philosophy. To draw attention to their cause, women in Chicago are concentrating on what they call "little dainties," such as elaborately opening doors for men and lighting their cigarettes...
...Call for Guides. The present law has a special twist for Latin Americans and Canadians. For the first time, it set a limit on their immigration (120,000 a year), but it established no job-preference guides.

The new bill would relieve the pressure by lowering the percentage of relatives admitted, creating more openings for workers with special abilities...

Based on Rochelle Owens' play and enacted by a group of wildly undisciplined shock troops who call themselves the La Mama Repertory Troupe,* Futz is merely a piece of fraudulent and fearsomely noisy theater of outrage. O'Horgan ceaselessly has his actresses jumping up and entwining their legs around any available male waist; and his notion of "new cinema" is to photograph scenes of idyllic love...
