...ghetto involved here is Chicago's black belt, where Scriptwriter Hansberry lived as a child. The hero (Sidney Poitier), his wife (Ruby Dee), his twelve-year-old son (Stephen Perry), his mother (Claudia McNeil) and his sister (Diana Sands) are all jammed together in three small rooms, toilet down the hall. Wife and mother do cleaning for white folks, sister is a pre-med student, hero drives a Cadillac for a downtown business executive-and hates it. At night he paces his low-rent prison and snarls at the walls: "I got to change my life...
...that pent-up, gotta-get-outa-here feeling is essential to the story. Regrettably, the actors-all the principals have been held over from the Broadway production-often seem to be shouting past the spectator, as though still playing from habit to the back row, balcony. Only Actress Dee, as the wife, projects her existence without hollering her head off. Actress Sands, as the sister, has a wonderful tomboy charm and most of the funny lines: "I'm not interested," she bellows at her Nigerian boy friend, "in being somebody's little episode in America."

A good random beginner's list might include Hector Berlioz ("EC-tor BEAR-li-oss"), Emil Waldteufel ("VAAL-toy-ful"), Kurt Weill's Die Dreigrosch-enoper ("Dee Dry-GROSH-en-oper"), Puccini's Gianni Schicchi ("Johnny SKEE-ky"), Prokofiev's ballet, Chout ("Shoo!"), Conductor Eugen Jochum ("OY-gen YOK-hum"), Pianist Jorge Bo-let ("HOAR-hay Bo-LETT"). Advanced players will discover certain unaccountable omissions: where are Monteverdi's Il Combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda or Composers...
...known as Miltown or Equanil. The defendants: Carter Products, Inc., recent loser in a 17-year struggle with the FTC to preserve the "Liver" in Carter's Little Liver Pills, and giant (1959 sales: $450 million) American Home Products, which sells 90 household products, from Chef Boy-Ar-Dee ravioli to Anacin and Preparation H (for hemorrhoids). Trustbusters charged that Carter, which developed meprobamate and controls one-third of the market, and American Home Products, which controls the other two-thirds under a licensing deal with Carter, conspired to fence out the competition and gouge the customers...
