...clear that you have chosen to act as apologist for Lee Falk's now defunct Boston Summer Theatre, and, more especially, for the Group 20 Players at Wellesley, now in their sixth season. I have no intention of taking one side or another in any conflict between the C.D.F. and Group 20; as a journalistic critic, I have been to see and/or review almost all the summer play productions in the area for a good number of years, and my admiration for the impressive roster of achievements by both these groups is strong. But your letter contains so many errors...

In 1956 he led a reconnaissance group into the Alps to scout various possible routes, settled on Clapier pass because it fitted most of the meager clues left by the historians. Ancient accounts say Hannibal camped two days at the summit: the summit at Clapier pass is flat enough and big enough to hold a Hannibal-sized army...
Selected in every case after the keenest competition (the Florida State group, picked from 5,000 applicants, had a median IQ of 138), the seniors get no credit, in some cases not even exams. But the pace is such that Cooper Union President Edwin S. Burdell, a sociologist, walked out of a class last fortnight, saying: "It's over my head." Said Northwestern's lanky Timothy Brown, 16, who comes from Lexington, Neb.: "I only wish I could be five people so I could take it all in." The thing all the youngsters like best is the grown...
