...drink, would shrivel a mess sergeant's taste buds. The demand is spreading. Mountain Valley Water Co. distributes its green bottles of spring water from Hot Springs, Ark., to 40 states. And to cater to tastes brought home by tourists, President John G. Scott has added such familiar European mineral waters as Evian, Vichy-Célestins and Fiuggi to the company's line of products...
...rebuttal article written by Russell Schwartz, Director of the Peace Corps for Botswana, has an uncomfortably familiar ring to me. I heard it all before when I and my colleague, Elaine Derso ('64) resigned from the Peace Corps in Chile in January, 1965.

Conceivably aware of this, director Hamlin has inserted into the prgoram a defense of the play on historical grounds, claiming that Angel Street made melodrama "respectable" through substitution of psychological motive for coincidental fate. Suspend all criticism of Hamilton's Freudian prowess, and the defense triumphs. But there is a further pitfall, an arguable...
