...Leverett House Art Society's excellent production of Equus. Presented as theater in the round, this production wastes no time in drawing the audience into the action and the play releases its grip only after two--and-a-half hours of troubling and, ultimately, cathartic drama. Under Brad Dalton's able direction, the cast, comprised almost entirely of newcomers to the Harvard stage, skillfully sustains an intense atmosphere of tension and provides a few examples of superb acting...
...comfortable paying for private schools." Moreover, admissions deans were counting on so-called summer melt from students who keep their options open by accepting places at several colleges. Some deans underestimated the number who would actually come. "The ghosts showed up," says Middlebury's associate admissions director, Herbert Dalton.

Next comes Eduardo Sancho Castañeda, 37, leader of the 2,000-member Armed Forces of National Resistance (FARN). (He is better known by his nom de guerre, Fermán Cienfuegos.) A founding member of Villalobos' group, Sancho broke away after the Dalton murder in 1975. Ideologically, FARN is believed to be the most conciliatory and nationalistic of the guerrilla organizations, and the most hostile to Soviet and Cuban influence. Least influential is Roberto Roca, 36, head of the 300-member armed faction of the Central American Workers' Revolutionary Party...
