Lola ruled Ludwig's kingdom as well as his imagination, and to the dismay of Prince Metternich, the Austrian archconservative who was master of Europe between the two Napoleons, her rule was quite liberal-she harassed the Jesuits and introduced the Code Napoleon. In 1847 Metternich offered Lola $250,000 if she would quietly go away; Lola threw the money in his emissary's face. Then Metternich organized a student riot, and Lola fell into his trap. Haughtily, she got Ludwig to close the university. The students rioted again, and now the riot was swollen by thousands...
...first time, other University groups that had been dormant since 1970 emerged to voice their dismay over U.S. policy. More than 300 library staff members signed a petition condemning Nixon's latest move; Librarians for Peace, an antiwar group begun in 1970, circulated the petition...

Furthermore, a confrontation cropped up between the committee's Democratic members and the White House over the practice of executive privilege that threatened...
Morse, to his initial dismay, is pursued by a bona fide rich senior gentleman (Cyril Ritchard). As Morse dances with Ritchard, comes to enjoy being courted and finally announces that he is engaged, the show achieves both its most comic and affecting peak. On a high order of miming, virtually à la Marceau, Morse captures the tremor, tenderness, coquettishness and vulnerability of a girl's first love. Morse is an enormously personable stage presence, and he knows it. The trouble is that he gratuitously does twice what he has perfectly done once. He is a child of excess...
