...meat cleaver of sudden death on Broadway hit Oliver Hailey in 1966 when his play, First One Asleep, Whistle, a lumpy porridge of marriage and adultery, closed on its opening night. Hailey, 35, does not believe he could have survived the blow to his playwriting morale except that he had already completed Who's Happy Now?, over which he had brooded for ten years. His father had been a butcher, who frequently moved the family from one small Texas town to another-"those Panhandle towns where the main street goes on and on and on, and there...
...claws in The Establishment, a satirical revue, and this year played character roles in three films. Off-camera, the short, puffy satirist is a disheveled and slightly laconic chap who retreats into the ranks of the anonymous. "He doesn't exist," says one of his few close friends, "except in his characters." He lives a secluded life in suburban Chiswick with his wife Anne, the daughter of former U.S. Ambassador to Ireland Grant Stockdale, reads highbrow literary criticism and, he says, sits pondering for hours over his electric typewriter that automatically shuts off whenever he hits on an idea...
...good industrial and business posts. Waseda's tough-minded, politically oriented students tend to get first crack at jobs in journalism, while Hitotsubashi is strong on languages and produces many economists. Also good in language-training are Jesuit-run Sophia and the Protestant-supported International Christian University. Except for a dozen top schools that compare favorably in academic quality with the best in the U.S., most of Tokyo's universities are underfinanced, lecture-oriented schools that offer an undistinguished faculty and curriculum...
Automakers have had a bad year all over Europe-except in Italy. There, auto-industry sales in the first nine months of 1967 were up 17% over last year's record business. Just seven years ago, there was only one car for every 25 Italians; by the end of this year, there will be one for every seven. The exasperating urban traffic jam has become a national horror. Historic piazzas have been turned into huge parking lots. Ancient Roman roads are being lined with more and more service stations. From Milan in the north to Messina in the south...
There he remained for 13 years (except for a few hours in 1961 when he escaped). Last April, Matteawan doctors decided that he was now capable of standing trial. He was sent to Manhattan's Bellevue Hospital where other psychiatrists agreed. The only hitch was that in the years since 1954, confessions obtained without informing the accused of his right to silence and a lawyer were declared inadmissible by the U.S. Supreme Court. Weinberg's confession did not meet the requirements, and the prosecution had little other evidence against him. Whether they knew it or not, the psychiatrists...
