...nervous," said Movie Star Jane Wyman, wringing her program in San Diego's Off Broadway Theater. The former wife of California Governor Ronald Reagan was waiting for the curtain to go up on the musical Guys and Dolls, starring Daughter Maureen Reagan in the most exciting part she has had in her four-year acting career: Adelaide, the nightclub entertainer and perennial fiancée of Gambler Nathan Detroit. In four pairs of eyelashes and a fluffy blonde wig, Maureen drew guffaws and catcalls in her bumping and grinding A Bushel and a Peck number, but the theater critic...
...ENTHUSIASTIC strike chants that brought down the curtain on Thursday night's anti-war meeting in Sanders Theater would seem to suggest that once again Harvard's students, however fired by idealism and resolve, are out to play revolution for the hell of it. While we are asked "to suspend all our normal activities," the assembly refused to explain how one can "strike" despite rather than against the University.

But the superstar of The Godfather's opening was Henry Kissinger. So many people wanted to be seen talking to the White House adviser that the curtain was delayed about 15 minutes. Kissinger was also the power and glory of the party afterward at the St. Regis Hotel, where the waiters passed the pasta, dressed in gangland pinstripes with black shirts and white ties. "I thought I was going to get away from all this by coming...
...down--but not to sacrifice form. His work also extends to automobile, locomotive, and factory design; here, too, he reached to handle the problems of society. The photographs in the exhibit show exactly how he solved some of these architectural problems: the walls of all glass, often called glass-curtain walls (as in the Fagus Shoe-Last Factory, 1911), convey an airiness and transparency never before attributed to building structures; the modular furniture and even buildings, like the faculty-housing for Dessau Bauhaus, are each really identical, but are built as mirror-image units, and are further differentiated by being...
