Harvard number two man John Havens followed Desaulniers' act, ousting West Pointer Tracy Freeman 15-8, 15-8, 15-12. Although hampered by a sprained right arm, Havens played extremely well, taking command of the match early with a flurry of backhand drives and off-speed drop shots...
...until the middle of the second act does the cast loosen up, and give a taste of what the entire show could have been like. In the traditional encores after the trio, "Never Mind the Why and Wherefore," Prince, Falk and Weary suddenly perk up and begin to command the Loeb stage. It doesn't matter that many of their routines are classic D'Oyly Carte fare--they start to look like they're having fun. The rest of the act, through the big finale, benefitted...
...grade levels. Liaison between the army, navy and air force, which were separated into three military bureaucracies in 1955, is handled at the top by a royal military staff. That makes it much more difficult for officers of the three services to get together-and possibly conspire against their commander in chief.

In a major conflict, little advantage could be gained from hundreds of bomb shelters carved out all over China on Mao's command to "dig tunnels deep, store grain everywhere, and never seek hegemony." China's ability to fight off even a limited Soviet thrust is questionable. Indeed, if China buys modern weapons from Europe, or possibly the U.S., the 190 divisions of the People's Liberation Army may have to wait...
...political lineup. The party in power usually suffers some reverses in off-year elections. But the Democrats, moving quickly and adroitly to exploit popular dissatisfaction with their own economic policies, kept losses to a minimum and remained in solid control of both houses of Congress. They stayed in command of 32 statehouses and both houses of at least 29 state legislatures. But the Republicans scored significant gains, showing that the endangered par ty can still make a comeback. When G.O.P. National Chairman Bill Brock was jokingly asked if the U.S. political system could be described as "a party...
