...necessarily mean the end of the military regime or, for that matter, even of mar tial law, under which Thailand has been ruled for a decade. Only the day before the ceremony, General Praphas Charusathien, 55, strongman of a regime in which he holds the posts of Deputy Premier, Interior Minister and army commander, had announced that martial law would remain in force, the new constitution notwithstanding; he also warned that any resumption of political activity could only benefit Communist subversion, which Thailand is fighting in several areas...
...Crewe, 37, a former interior decorator, model, singer and songwriter, is a rare example of an "older" independent producer who successfully adapted to rock. His 62 hits and total of 100 million sales span several styles (Mitch Ryder, Lesley Gore), but all reflect his desire to "avoid the naked, irritating sounds while using the basic force of the beat." Crewe's three-floor Manhattan penthouse-decorated with mirrored ceilings, carved panels from the Indonesian pavilion at the New York World's Fair, and kangaroo-skin bedspreads-is also the nerve center for his group of eight production, publishing...
...noise, fumes and potential hazards will not be personally obnoxious. In Washington, even the poverty marchers of Resurrection City are complaining about the noise from jets approaching National Airport.

The Interior Department, which runs the Micronesia Trust Territory for the U.S., may make a decision by the end of summer, perhaps earlier, under pressure from the United Nations Trusteeship Council, which is reviewing U.S. stewardship of the Pacific islands. The U.N. was prodded by a Peace Corpsman's moving plea that urged: "If Bikini is free of radiation and is fit for human...
Memory & Myth. Modern-Dance Pioneer Martha Graham is as far removed from Bolshoi technique as the cloister is from the athletic field. Probing ever deeper into the recesses of the psyche, she is an explorer of the mental interior, reflecting on the roles of memory, meditation, myth and the male-female relationship. She successfully blended them all at the beginning of her 21-week Manhattan season in a new work called A Time of Snow, a somber retelling of the love and tragedy of Heloise and Abelard. The Graham dancers embraced the angular and knotty choreography with the familiar...
