...will gather there to protest the war and demonstrate their support for the Black Panthers and for the "Conspiracy 8," who are charged with conspiring to incite riots at the Chicago Democratic convention last year. For sheer propaganda, however, nothing the activists are planning or doing is likely to equal the summer project of ex-S.D.S. Organizer Rennie Davis and Detroit's Linda Evans, an S.D.S. leader. They are presently in Hanoi as members of the U.S. delegation invited to escort homeward the three U.S. prisoners of war whose release was promised by the North Vietnamese early...
...Firing for five minutes, the reliable S-4B engine accelerated the ship to 24,245 m.p.h., fast enough to tear it loose from the earth's gravitational embrace and send it toward the moon. At a point 43,495 miles from the moon, lunar gravity exerted a force equal to the gravity of the earth, then some 200,000 miles distant.

Constant tension, they report, brings on the pains of angina pectoris, which often precede a heart attack...
...only comic equal in this production is Leland Moss, as the homosexual Rio Rita. Not content to play the stage queen (masculine) as a simple grotesque, Moss maintains some semblance of delicacy. If the way he kept jumping up and down in his seat is any indication, the flamer of a middle-aged fag who ended up in the seat next to me simply loved Rita--so I guess Moss also puts in a pretty credible performance. At any rate, he is the only actor on stage who manages to stay in character for the entire evening, which in this...
