...Oliver Rea and Peter Zeisler, along with Tyrone Guthrie, were drawn to Minneapolis as a city immune to Broadway's manic-depressive boom-or-bust psychology. Guthrie, a restlessly inventive director, had already been the chief architect of Stratford, Ontario's successful festival. The trio found a fervent ally and a doggedly gifted fund raiser in Minneapolis Editor John Cowles Jr. Prophesied Guthrie, who carries his 6-ft. 5-in. frame like a queen's grenadier guard in mufti: "Minn will come through." Minn did. The T. B. Walker Foundation donated the land and a grant...
However, even though there turned out to be gold (and iron) in Mauritania's sands, it has become increasingly plain that Morocco's pragmatic young King Hassan II does not share his father's fervent faith in a "Greater Morocco" and realizes, in any case, that its big neighbor is here to stay.

Cohen, in a fervent new book marred occasionally by some advanced term-paper prose, summons the comfortable, conforming natural Jew of the American present to recapture his supernatural vocation as a living reminder to all men that history is incomplete until God's Kingdom has been established...
That Famous Party. Fervent apostles of loose tea leaves and six-minute brewing, Brooke Bond's bosses are shocked by such U.S. aberrations as bagged, instant and iced tea. Nonetheless, the company is now pushing south from Canada, has begun marketing Red Rose in border areas such as New England, northern New York and the Pacific Northwest. So far, Red Rose's best U.S. market has turned out to be Boston. Says Brooke Bond Sales Director Roy Furber with only a hint of a smile: "I suppose it goes back to that famous tea party...
