...companies are being born. Old companies are being rejuvenated. Ballet groups are crisscrossing the country, offering a bewildering assortment of dances, some fiery and full of meaning, some backed by rock music and psychedelic lighting, some conventional and harmonious. Two groups are currently drawing more attention and stirring more delight than any others. One is John Cranko's rollicking Stuttgart Ballet (TIME, June 20), now being seen by U.S. audiences on a 15-city cross-country tour.

With his Scottish burr, fierce beard and piercing eyes, McHarg is a cross between Jeremiah and a kind of male Rachel Carson. He is not only a symbol of rising anger at environmental abuses, but a successful practitioner of the hard art of stopping those abuses.
