...class Americans has been to own a single-family home. In 1965 the average price of a new house was just $20,000. By 1975 the figure had more than doubled, to $42,600. Last week the Commerce Department reported that in May the price tag on the American Dream rose to a nightmarish $101,000. It climbed by $5,100 just since April...
Sure, once upon a time, they all used to scream for ice cream. But many Americans today are more likely to pine for the impossible: a tasty, low-cal, no-cholesterol, nondairy frozen delight-and make it all natural too, please. Only a dream, say cynics. Tofutti, says David Mintz. Bless you, say many converts who believe Mintz's Tofutti may be the answer. Indeed, Americans are licking up 40,000 gal. a week of his chilly concoction.

One afternoon, following a rehearsal of the play, the dozing Henrik is awakened by Anna. They sit on an old sofa and chat about their crossed lives and their shared art. The talk drifts to Anna's dead mother Rakel, and in the wink...
Strindberg has been an inspiration for Bergman ever since he first read the playwright's works as a boy of twelve. For theater, radio and television he has mounted more than a dozen Strindberg plays. Three times he has staged A Dream Play, in 1970 refining the work's surreal sprawl into a spare "chamber play" like After...
