...with some--though not all--of the other major roles, the difficulties of the play reassert themselves. Bryan Falk's Claudius appears unnecessarily stiff. Certainly the King should be regal, but that need not restrict the actor who portrays him to the single tone level and rate of delivery. Somewhat the same is true of Robert Jordan, in the part of Laertes. He tends to speak too fast to let his lines be readily understood. Lisa Rosenfarb, the Queen, happily avoids these mistakes.

...that the Club is also returning--in a small way still to be sure--to another of the founders' major objectives, namely the production of original scripts. Chapman's interest in this has played no small part in the movement, although at present it is restricted to the Workshop level. While it is nice to bring plays to Harvard which have been done at the St. James or the Globe, it is equally, if not more, valuable and exciting to produce original works.

Cranking up to help supply Western Europe's oil shortage (see NATIONAL AFFAIRS); the U.S. oil industry was producing at the highest level in history, and the steel industry was straining hard to keep up with demand (see below). In Pittsburgh, U.S. Steel President Clifford F. Hood and Steelworkers Union Chief David J. McDonald formally opened a new office building at the Homestead plant, constructed out of a new kind of cost-cutting, space-saving stainless steel. Said Big Steel's President Hood: "This...
