...introduce its second season of experimental plays, the New Theatre Workshop has presented two "established" works, in order to arouse interest in its later student-written productions. The Twelve Pound Look, by J. M. Barrie, forms a delightful one-act entree. But it precedes a main dish that is not so tempting, for Sean O'Casey's Shadow of a Gunman is a confusing play.

In time, the old man sets forth gallantly for the rest...
Mercury added three new models, including the low-priced, two-door Medalist, with less chrome and decoration. It also upped its horsepower from 198 to 225 on some models, and adopted the Ford safety package: "deep-dish" steering wheel to absorb impacts, crash-resistant door locks, optional seat belts...
