...minefield is generally seeded with a variety of devices. Some explode on contact. Some detonate magnetically when they pick up the magnetic field of a passing ship. Others explode at an acoustical cue, such as a ship's propellers alongside or overhead. Still others go off when a ship's hull increases the water pressure. A mine's relatively simple computer can be programmed to react to combinations of signals. Thus some mines are equipped with "counters." They will allow, say, nine ships to pass by and then blow up the tenth. Such mines greatly increase...
...outdone, the presidents of the eight Ivy League colleges followed suit in a more traditional form of protest this week. Taking a cue, perhaps, from their more militant colleague at Amherst, the Ivy presidents joined with Stanford's Richard Lyman and headed for Washington Wednesday to lobby against...

"Opening night we'll be up there and Guy'll go 'Wait!' and charge off to correct something." They had all laughed, knowing how close to truth that...

Miller has taken the cue to dress Barnum, (who already fairly resembles the old poet) in a suit and spectacles Yeats might have worn himself. The impersonation of the hoary and slightly confused Yeats is the strongest performance of the evening. It makes it clear that the poet wrote a part of himself into each of the Old Men in the other plays...
