After this, the box is supplied with a raised platform so that it seems like the sun deck of an ocean liner. On it sit and stand four characters. One is Chairman Mao Tse-tung (Wyman Pendleton), who mouths Marxist-Leninist platitudes about the irreparable decline of the imperialist West. Another character is a decayed society drone (Nancy Kelly) who recalls her frustrated attempt at suicide together with such intimate details of her sex life as the smooth tautness of her husband's scrotum. Another woman (Sudie Bond) recites the doggerel couplets of a poem called Over the Hill...
...tightly run, corporate state modeled closely on Mussolini's Italy, and his secret police have harshly repressed most discussion and all dissent. He has ruled longer than any other European political leader in this century. Early this month, after injuring his head in a fall from a deck chair, Salazar, 79, underwent surgery for removal of a blood clot on his brain.

At Ford, the major work has been done on the full-size cars, including the LTD, which will be wider and lower, boast such features as a "flight cockpit" instrument array, a short rear deck and the long hood that is fast becoming a Detroit cliche. Mustang, the car that inspired the look, is becoming fast, period. Next year's "Mach 1" model will be able to live up to the name of its "Cobra Jet Ram-Air V8" engine. Top speed: 150 m.p.h.-plus...
...QUOTATIONS FROM MAO TSE-TUNG, by Edward Albee (Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?). Box, a monologue on art and life by the offstage voice of Ruth White, comes first and last. In between, Mao Tse-tung delivers Communist platitudes from a boat deck...
