...TIME says "we need well-planned recreational development," as if this applied to Disney Corporation's plans for Mineral King [Feb. 7]. You would ignore the thousands who pilgrimage annually up the winding forest road to find deep enjoyment and escape from urban pressures in simple camping, hiking and horseback riding away from the asphalt wastelands of Southern California. You would "improve" this Shangri-la by callously jamming 81/2 miles of superhighway through a wild section of Sequoia National Park, set aside for posterity in 1890, Then you would transform the tiny mountain valley into a parking...
...exhibition gallery is still higher, almost hidden. Two low-ceilinged spaces, lit even to the corners, surround the Boston Now exhibition by young Boston artists. Few of the thirty pieces of painting and sculpture are even three old. Hyman Bloom's mysterious, Dorerlike forest in Charcoal, done by the dean of Boston artists in 1963, is remote and antique...

David Warner, remembered from Morgan (see CINEMA color), and Diana Rigg, onetime heroine of ABC's The Avengers...
Full House. To bring out the play's down-to-earthness, Hall filmed it not in a studio but in a tangled English wood located only twelve miles from Stratford-on-Avon. Though it rained continuously, Hall and his shivering actors tramped for six weeks through the forest with hand-held cameras-"they give a sense of breathing," says Hall-trying to capture what he calls "that wet, steaming, glistening quality that only an English summer can have...
