AMERICAN SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL, Stratford, Conn. Two comedies, As You Like It and Love's Labour's Lost, provide the light moments, while Richard II deals with weightier affairs of men and state. A dash of Shaw is offered in Androcles and the Lion. Through Sept...
...five children and five establishments in Lexington, Ky., Saratoga, Manhattan, Manitoba, Canada, and 100,000 acres of the Adirondacks. So Marylou and her two secretaries (one in New York and one in Kentucky) spend a lot of time in a welter of lists, files and details. She likes to dash off notes to the help about buying ham at less than $5 a pound: As she says: "Money does not grow on trees." And then there are decisions-decisions like what movies to choose for the Adirondacks this summer and whom to invite for the fishing and whom...
...THEATER OF THE ABSURD. A beautiful girl gets into the back seat of a Rolls-Royce,takes off her clothes and climbs into a bathtub brimming with Calgon bath oil. The Dash soap man butts into conversations and flings laundry at innocent people. "Louise Hexter," he commands, "start wearing cleaner blouses!"

Yet last week Americans could envy Canadians the exuberant dash of their new Prime Minister, Pierre Elliot Trudeau, who, along with intellect and political skill, exhibits a swinger's panache, a lively style, an imaginative approach to his nation's problems.

Hubert Humphrey and Richard Nixon appear destined to seize their parties' nominations, then meet in an old-style confrontation...
...barriers have withstood the test of flying feet as stubbornly as Armin Hary's world record of 10 sec. flat for the 100-meter dash-set by the West German Olympian in 1960 and tied since by nine other sprinters. Last week Hary's Deutsche mark was not only broken but absolutely devalued at the A.A.U. championship in Sacramento, Calif. In eight 100-meter races-four heats, two semifinals, the final, and a runoff for one berth in this week's Olympic trials-no fewer than ten competitors equaled Hary's time, and three were officially...
