...people, President Kennedy used the same image (see THE NATION). The big, unanswered and for the present unanswerable question is where the further steps may lead. It may or may not be a major turning point in the cold war. Given all the bitter memories of Communist deceit and broken pledges, all the past "peace offensives" that only served to aggravate the battle, no one can discount the possibility that the test ban agreement will only serve to give the Russians a breather in their struggle with the West, to be resumed later with even more ferocity. Still, this event...
...other words, the Administration has wrongly decided that all summer students are guilty of irresponsibility and deceit until proven innocent. And since practically the only way to establish innocence is to prove a "continuing responsibility" to Harvard, an impossible feat in two months, all students must suffer the punishment for their "guilt."

Fortunately, Hellman's skill is such that the power of the criticism serves to accelerate the pace and broaden the spirit of farce. And for all its commentary the play is invariably funny...
Also in Bed. The most obvious explanation for the boom lies within the structure of the modern hairpiece itself. Where rough edges and crude foundations once made a man's deceit discernible to his snickering friends, the new wigs (made exclusively of imported hair, often from the peasant women of Italy) are fashioned on delicately tinted, skin-colored fabric or fiber-glass base, and are carefully matched in color and texture to the customer's remaining locks. The whole thing is generally affixed to the scalp by a couple of pieces of centrally stationed tape plus a smattering...
