...forces that now opposed him so effectively. But more than irony was involved. Nasser still did not rebuke Moscow, only those Arabs loyal to it. Communist countries now take 59% of Egypt's exports. They support the U.A.R.'s economy with an estimated $600 million line of credit. They supply arms-jets and tanks, and Russians to train their operators-with a lavishness that the U.S. has no intention of matching. As recently as last December, the Soviet Union acquired by agreement all construction rights for the first five years' work on Nasser's pet project...
...legislature, 360 women seated in local assemblies, one woman mayor. In more than 30,000 clubs and P.T.A.s throughout Japan, house wives go in for cooking classes, sewing circles, charity drives. Wives can also be militant, and have often backed their husbands in strikes by bullying shopkeepers into advancing credit, badgering government officials and forming picket lines. The women of Japan are fiercely antiwar, anti-rearmament, anti-H-bomb...

...credit, however, does not go to the plot or to the dialogue. The first is a displaced Agatha Christie murder mystery which would have found its logical setting in an English country home on an English country week-end. Instead, the authors have chosen to borrow liberally from the journalism of Art Buchwald and Cleveland Amory and transport their characters to a combination of Biarritz and Capri. The resultant hybrid is not happy. Nor, sad to say, are the lines the participants are made to speak in their non-musical moments. The jokes, such as they are, represent the scum...
...contradiction to the unfortunate statement quoted in the March 16 CRIMSON, we wish to say that in our opinion much of the credit for the success of "Wonderful Town" is due to the many Harvard men who were involved in the production. Were it not for their help the show might well have been but another Drumbeats disaster. We would, therefore, like to apologize for any misunderstanding that may have resulted from this remark, and here thank the better half of the show. Vivian Thomas Kyra Gordon Jane Hallowell Louise N.
