AMERICAN SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL, Stratford, Conn. Two comedies, As You Like It and Love's Labour's Lost, provide the light moments, while Richard II deals with weightier affairs of men and state. A dash of Shaw is offered in Androcles and the Lion. Through Sept...
...Note--"Richard II" plays through September 15 in alternation with "As You Like It," "Love's Labour's Lost," and Shaw's "Androcles and the Lion," which will be reviewed in subsequent issues.

The Economist has argued against nationalization of the British steel industry and urged turning over the telephone system to private enterprise.
