...CURTAIN RISES, someone is pounding out Scott Joplin and vaudeville tunes on the upright piano in the corner. Credits appear like titles from a 1910 silent movie: "Executive Producer--John Cooper; Director--Evangeline Morphos; Set Designer--Martin Shofner." The Hasty Pudding Theater has been transformed into a nickelodeon for Measure for Measure. the premiere production of The Harvard Shakespeare Theater.

Rumors arose that the long-lost treasure of Montezuma II, the Aztec emperor at the time of the Spanish conquest, had finally been located. As archaeologists roped off the site, indignant Mexicans protested: "We have a right to the gold. We pay our taxes...
