CELEBRATION, by Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt, the co-creators of The Fantasticks, is a charmer for sophisticates who have never quite forsaken the magic realm of childhood. Potemkin, a master of ceremonies winningly played by Keith Charles, presides over a land of enchantment peopled by a handsome blond Orphan, a crestfallen Angel, a bored and impotent Mr. Rich and a group of Revelers. With a straight melodic line and the unpretentiously apt lyrics of the songs, the play is one of those good things that come in small packages...
...Your method of healing the nation is a little like seeking a Band-Aid for a case of tuberculosis. Why not step even farther back for perspective and work on the virus of our disease-that 73% of Americans live on 1% of the land? A system of tax incentives could be used to relocate companies and corporate headquarters outside the teeming cities. With a communications system such as ours, there is no reason for so many sources of employment to be located on overcrowded, crime-infested, air-polluted islands of humanity.

It lies 100 miles north of San Francisco at the southern end of Mendocino County's Anderson Valley, a corridor 30 miles long that takes the Navarro River northwest to the Pacific. The southern half looks like Scotland: steep hills, lush fields dotted with sheep and shacks with wood smoke coming out of the chimneys. The valley is beautiful and silent. Two thousand people in maybe 150 square miles. Having...
...rest of the world, Switzerland is a land of placid tranquillity and order nestling amid picture-postcard scenery. Yet of late it has been the scene of doings that would make the ministrants of Rosemary's Baby blush. For the past four weeks, the gruesome evidence has poured forth in a Zurich courtroom. On trial are six people, including Joseph Stocker, 61, a defrocked and excommunicated South German priest, and his fanatically religious mistress, Magdalena Kohler, 54. The charge...
