Construction is also in the wind for the building on 9 Mt. Auburn St., which now houses the El Diablo restaurant. But despite hopeful rumors of a MacDonald's Hamburg shop, both owner Max Wasserman and a spokesman for MacDonald's have denied any plans to bring Ronald MacDonald to the Square...
Along with ennui, tankermen are prey to fleeting fears. In the past two months, mysterious explosions have sunk three tankers off the coast of Africa. Last week four crewmen were killed when a Swedish tanker blew up in a Hamburg drydock.

...Bergman-directed Rake's Progress to excellent critical acclaim. In the guessing game that followed Bing's decision to retire, Gentele's name did not figure among the popular favorites: Conductors Leonard Bernstein and Erich Leinsdorf, Impresarios Julius Rudel of the New York City Opera and Hamburg's Rolf Liebermann and Composer Peter Mennin, the president of Juilliard. "I didn't even know myself until three weeks ago that I was being considered seriously," says Gentele...
