Aeschylus, Athens & Ice Cream. In Montevideo, Minn., Lady Bird visited an old-folks home and an urban-renewal project. In nearby Waverly, Mrs. Hubert Humphrey showed her a bookmobile and artmobile and fed her homemade ice cream on the lawn. In Minneapolis-which hardly qualifies as a village-she suffered nobly through Tyrone Guthrie's The House of Atreus, a 31-hour version of Aeschylus' Oresteia trilogy. In Columbus, Ind., "the Athens of the Prairie," she listened to the American National Opera Company and praised the striking smalltown, big-name architecture (including work by such distinguished designers...
...surge comes from the Federal Reserve Board, which has been pumping credit into the economy so fast that it has expanded the money supply at an annual rate of 7.7% so far this year, against only 2.2% during the 1966 tight-money squeeze.

Two years ago, another 41 died in a similar accident that involved a 727 jet in Salt Lake City.

Old men are paraded naked to their cells and taunted by guards who make them rage impotently until the patients beat the walls of the cages they can never leave. A psychiatrist orders a man to be force fed, then smokes a cigarette, dangling the ashes inches away from the funnel that is emptying food into the victim's stomach. A boy who claims that the institute is making his condition worse is answered with evasive jargon from a Kafkaesque staff. The 85-minute film offers no comment...
...Crimson finished its scoring three minutes later. Sophomores Nick Hallett, in for Yehia, fed the ball to his left. Tufts' bulky goalie came out to meet the ball, but Robertson beat him to it and sent a centering pass across the goal mouth where Keppel was in perfect position to punch in his first varsity marker...
