Occasionally, as in the military exercise known as Bo Odori, in which sticks, sickles and wooden swords were flourished in ritualistic confusion, the dance had an authentic feel. But more often, Takarazuka's "musical bridge" seemed a one-way street that fell 20 years short of its goal. After watching an animal turn called Shan Shan Uma, in which two dancers represented the front and hindquarters of a horse, the New York Daily News's John Chapman commented: "I kept muttering to myself 'Shan Shan Uma on the Rillera.'

...uncowed consciences, critics of society, not adjusters to it." The words would have a stirring ring coming from any educator, but they take on added meaning coming from the dean of faculty of a new public college spun off by big (20,000 students) Michigan State University, long known as an "ag and tech" institution. Last week, at the opening of the new college at Oakland, 60 miles east of M.S.U.'s main East Lansing campus, crewcut Dean Robert Hoopes, 39, onetime Marine Corps aviator, laid out his goal: to teach the art of living as well as pure...

Concentrating on Rome's first 40 years, about which virtually nothing is known beyond the legends handed down by Livy and Plutarch, Duggan sketches a fascinating if somewhat too breezily modern story. The Rome of 8th century B.C., as described by Duggan, sounds very much like a common European caricature of the 20th century U.S. Rome is slow to war. and quick to extend aid to an enemy once he has been beaten. Its conglomerate citizens-Latin farmers, Sabine hillmen, Etruscan renegades, Greek exiles-are swiftly shaped into a conforming whole; they dress and act alike and are fond...
