...Orson Welles wrote and illustrated a volume entitled Everybody's Shakespeare. That title, for all its overtones of Lambist heresy, may still indicate something about what is going on in Falstaff (Chimes at Midnight), the latest and finest of the director's screen adaptations of Shakespearean texts. For Welles, the problem of license versus faithfulness does not exist as such. His Shakespeare films are informed by a single overriding concern: to make the text, both the words and the visual images implicit in them, wholly and completely his own, and thereby to make them ours...
...called by older Bostonians. It is the second largest movie house in the country. It seats over 4,000. The Music Hall tends to stick with sure hits.

Four or five of them, linked up like spokes of a wheel, could serve as an assembly plant for a manned lunar vehicle...
...Conscience" April 15 was an utter flop--only 70 students showed up at Memorial Church for the ceremonies. Only six per cent of the Harvard Faculty could be persuaded to sign a moderately-worded statement backing draft resisters in an o so legal way. And at the latest Boston draft card turn-in, only 20 people turned...
