Well now, those of us who possess some degree of mental health (excluding those with excessive work compulsions) probably didn't flick out every night of exam period and therefore might well have missedThe Teahouse of the August Moon the first time around. It is worth seeing now and not only for the Japanese music and U.T. prices...

Indeed the Nation said more: in an oblique flick at Stevenson, it warned that the problems of peace are now so touchy that the U.S. could not "tolerate much knight errantry." The Nation's concluding advice to liberals: don't get committed until Ike declares his intentions; then wait to see what Earl Warren decides, and then...
