...essentials of U.N. diplomacy remain, as Adlai Stevenson once defined them, "protocol, alcohol and Geritol," the 23rd session will likely provide more than usual amounts of vitriol. Czechoslovakia and Viet Nam offer abundant fuel for debate, even though both are absent from the 99-item agenda. But they are effectively out of the U.N.'s scope.

...more playful item, about half a dozen members of the cast do a kind of jungle gavotte. With kangaroo hops, lion growls and peacock flutterings, they imitate and invent animals. Each actor performs feats of remarkable physical agility. Quite possibly, the Living Theater's eventual fame may rest on throwing out Stanislavsky in favor of the R.C.A.F. manual...

In all, they have commitments or options to buy $7.6 billion worth of jets...

But their plans fizzled out, said Combat, when the chlorinated water neutralized the LSD. An item more colorful than correct, since there are no reservoirs in Chicago, and the LSD would have had no effect anyway. Combat also found it significant that Eldridge Cleaver, a Black Panther who is the presidential candidate of the Peace and Freedom Party, was invited to lecture to a group of summer...
