Other "myths" make the rounds regularly. Two of them, however, fell victim last week to authoritative debunking. For some Americans it has been an article of faith that the campus upheavals of recent years could not be the spontaneous work of their children, but must in fact be the fruit of sinister plotting and manipulation by the Communists. A corollary conviction has it that any dissenters who come off the worse from encounters with law enforcement officers undoubtedly asked for it. Both were knocked down by no less an authority than the Federal Bureau of Investigation. William C. Sullivan...
...love Kaufman and Hart, and I love the thirties. But the Harpo production of You Can't Take It With You endows its characters with the fatal fruit of self-knowledge: it's a classic example of "camping." Instead of giving us the original and allowing the dislocation in time and space to provide the boffs, we are presented with a modern, hip conception of the thirties. The ingenue is not just "lovely, fresh, and young," as Messrs. K. and H. described her: Kent Wilson's Alice is a veritable Breck poster girl, a walking Palmolive ad, a cutie...
Kaplan concedes that licensing marijuana would "almost certainly" increase experimentation and use.

...Magenta. Last fall the two artists teamed up to visit the island of Tobago in the British West Indies. The resulting show at Manhattan's Museum of Modern Art was composed of some surprisingly beautiful underwater photographs, and charted new ecological territory. Hutchinson strung out calabash, a local fruit, so that it floated eerily in the sea; he also transferred yellow leguminous flowers from nearby slopes to the ocean floor. Oppenheim, long intrigued by the "incredibly irregular" patterns of U.S. Highway 20 he had observed on maps, decided to transfer the configuration of the highway to water. Using...
...where Hawaii left off; Whip Hoxworth (this time played by Heston) returns home to find that his dead grandfather has willed him 85,000 measly acres of Hawaiian soil. Hoxworth promptly heads for French Guiana to steal some pineapples to plant. A lovely Chinese girl (Tina Chen) helps the fruit to flourish, and Hoxworth soon has most of the island on the Dole...
