...Deadly Debut. The most widely used of the new weapons made its first appearance in South Viet Nam nine months ago, and has since been used with increasing intensity. It is the Soviet-made, self-propelled 122-mm. rocket, whose seven-mile range has snatched every sanctuary away from the allies. The 122 has hit every major U.S. installation except Cam Ranh Bay at least once; its 42-lb. warhead has destroyed scores of parked U.S. planes, pockmarked runways from Danang to Tan Son Nhut. It has also been used against most cities, striking dread into the South Vietnamese. They...
...Chinese are supplying the V.C. and North Vietnamese with a new 107mm. rocket that made its deadly debut during Tet. It fires a self-propelled warhead that can demolish a small build ing or blow up a bunker at a range of five miles.

When the revitalized Jeffrey Ballet finally made its City Center debut in March 1966, it scored such a resounding critical success that it was quickly installed as the theater's resident company...
...with a mind-blowing razzle-dazzle of sound effects. Among the players, Jack Hollander is ebulliently disreputable as Wacholder, while Tom Aldredge makes an antiseptically uptight Wurz. The charmer of the production is Wurz's dimpled dumpling of a wife, played by Maxine Greene, 23, making her Manhattan debut-as a human being; her previous appearances have been in The Wizard of Oz as Toto the dog, and in Spurt of Blood as an orangutan...
