With a satanic stroke of his pen, Syndicated Cartoonist Herbert L. Block has drawn and quartered Washington politicians for more than three decades. Says Block, whose frequent quarry was the jowly, bushy-browed Richard Nixon: "My cartoons are opinion pieces and are recognized as such. My opinion." To honor the Pulitzer-prizewinning cartoonist, the National Press Club gave him its Fourth Estate Award, which has gone in the past to such heavies as CBS's Walter Cronkite and the New York Times's James Reston. The 68-year-old "Herblock," as he signs his name, says he plans...
...Christmas shopping. It's a good thing, because Ole Kris Kringle just wasn't made to squeeze into the revolving doors of department stores, and security guards are naturally suspicious of anybody carrying a big sack like his. And how many department stores would take a check drawn on the North Pole Savings and Trust? Cashing one from a New York bank is tough enough...
They are not a particularly attractive bunch; and one of the work's major problems is that the audience is drawn into the play less by empathy than by sheer fascination with Ibsen's unerring craft.

Said Bella Abzug, presiding officer of the conference: "We are in the second stage, of action and political power." As delegates streamed home from the conference, they seemed to reinforce Abzug's message. Confirmed in their confidence, women vowed to place their interests on the political stage as never before. So, of course, did their more conservative opponents, who also returned home determined to speak out further...
Shakespeare's "The Comedy of Errors," it used to be thought, took laughter too far, into the realm of farce. Mistaken identities between brothers and sisters and confusions of masters and servants abound. But the point is that by the end of the play everybody has been drawn into the act. And the play admits its own artificiality along with the weaknesses we all have. Hopefully the carefully chosen Scenes from the Comedy of Errors at the Loeb Ex will show just that. Performances are tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday...
