...with deep humility that at least some of us in the Episcopal Church would apologize for the article published in the Living Church (not an official organ of the church) and reprinted as "news" in TIME, Oct. 31. This article's content is a travesty upon our church, but thank God the church in Springfield, Mo. cannot represent all of us! For every one of them, there are ten unlike them...
Period of Adjustment (by Tennessee Williams) has Broadway's laureate of sex writing what for him is virtually light verse, finds Broadway's master of violence content with poked ribs and slammed doors. With here a bit of father fixation and there a bit of impotence anxiety or a fit of the shakes, Williams at times still manages to do wonders. But he has plainly written a comedy.

I ought to tick off every one of the two dozen or so in the cast, but must content myself with mentioning the Stage Manager of Mark J. Mirsky '61 (who therein displayed enormous progress in acting, an impression confirmed by his expertly elocuted Thersites in the recent Troilus and Cressida), the Mrs. Gibbs of De French, the Mrs. Webb of Dixie Dewitt, the Emily of Barbara Blanchard...
With the candidate delayed somewhere along his route, the crowd, huddled under theatre marquees and restaurant awnings, had to be content with sideshows. In front of Lindy's, a young boy sporting 25 (count 'em) king size Kennedy buttons, argued with a middle-aged Nixon lady. "Nixon's more of a Hitler than Kennedy is," he shouted...
