...decides to exterminate other people, under whatever pretext, has become distinctly ominous. As a one-madwoman salvage operation, Angela Lansbury saves her reputation if not the show. Looking like a ruefully unkempt Colette, she croons, chortles, and cavorts about The stage with a certain raffish gallantry. The Jerry Herman score is zero, and Choreographer Joe Layton, who once staged dances of tepid promise, has now ascended to scalding mediocrity...
Some Soviet thinkers have even begun to play with scenario building, the concept that Herman Kahn's Hudson Institute and others have used so effectively. Arbatov himself, however, dismisses comparisons between his group and U.S. "think tanks." As one of his assistants explained: "We are dialecticians, not formal logicians...
...NOVEMBER just such a show opened at the Colonial Theatre in Boston. The show, Dear World, had all the earmarks of a hit: a hot star (Angela Lansbury); a composer-lyricist who had never written for a flop (Jerry Herman, whose previous efforts included Hello Dolly and Mame); and a successful librettist team (Jerome Lawrence and Robert E.

Over the years, Mumford has become known as a specialist in many fields--a tribute both to his vast learning and his stubborn refusal to confine himself to one discipline. Among the twenty-three volumes he's produced since 1922 are texts on Herman Melville, on the history of art and literature, on design and architecture and on moral philosophy. But perhaps his most famous and important work has been in urban affairs. Mumford was among the first Americans to study the problems of the cities systemically, and the ideas he formulated in the 1920's have, if anything, gained...
