...classic example of "camping." Instead of giving us the original and allowing the dislocation in time and space to provide the boffs, we are presented with a modern, hip conception of the thirties. The ingenue is not just "lovely, fresh, and young," as Messrs. K. and H. described her: Kent Wilson's Alice is a veritable Breck poster girl, a walking Palmolive ad, a cutie who lifts her calf when kissed and who drops into a Pola Negri swoon when embraced. Colin Cabot's Tony, the boss' son, isn't just a thirties romantic; he crackles around the stage like...
...Airplane, however, are still taking more than enough money than is necessary to live from and their lyrics of yet express no class-consciousness. It took the Kent State massacre to bring Neil Young down from his "Helpless, helpless, helpless" ness into the high-energy world of "Four Dead In Ohio." The title of The Dead's new album is somewhat deceptive-"Workingman's Dead" is neither the Marxian manifesto set to music nor the high-energy level music produced by the fists of labor (Dead fans will be glad to know that Garcia is alive and well, sunk...
JULIAN FIFER is a gentle, soft-spoken 19-year-old cellist who is a Columbia College sophomore.

The left had more serious requests as well. A radical group, headed by Rennie Davis, one of the Chicago Seven defendants, wanted runners heading from Kent State in Ohio, and Augusta, Ga., where students and blacks were slain, to match the flag-bearing runners heading to Washington from Philadelphia, Valley Forge and Williamsburg, Va., as part of the celebration. From the Rev. Douglas Moore, leader of Washington's Black United Front, came an attack...
...Nixon's decision lower national confidence in his leadership? Until Cambodia, the President had all but defused the war-protest movement. The invasion, in conjunction with the deaths at Kent State, resuscitated antiwar sentiment as nothing else could have done. While the polls show no loss of support for Nixon from the nation at large, Americans are probably less certain now than two months ago that the U.S. can steadily disengage from Indochina without enduring further crises. In the Senate, which has virtually forsaken its other business to debate Cambodia, the President's support has dropped noticeably. Adept...
