...small roles I much admire the cool and calculating young Octavius of Philip Kerr, and the oily Decius of John Tillinger. Some of the rest need work, including Bryan Utman as the boy-servant Lucius (a role that Shakespeare had to invent instead of taking over from Plutarch, and was so beautifully done on this stage six years ago by Alan Howard). Utman is not helped at all by the ugly and fussy song composed for him by John Morris...
...into their territory. In October 1951, Vopos swept into the town, cut telephone communications to West Berlin, and posted proclamations stating that Steinstucken was part of East Germany. They left four days later after the Allies vigorously protested the action. When the Berlin Wall went up in 1961, General Lucius D. Clay made a symbolic gesture designed to calm frightened West Berliners. He took a helicopter across the "death strip" to Steinstucken and evacuated 32 political refugees; a day later, he created what may be the U.S. Army's smallest permanent armed garrison operating openly on foreign soil...

NATO Commander General Andrew Goodpaster and Robert Ellsworth, U.S. Ambassador to the Atlantic Alliance, arrived from Europe. Also on hand were George Ball and Dean Acheson, John J.

Somehow, when he died last week at 65 of progressive heart failure, his rule seemed to have lasted longer, so forceful had it been. In a changing of the guard that will probably prove one more of style than of substance, F. Edward Hebert, 69, will assume the chairmanship when the 92nd Congress convenes. A 15-term Congressman from Louisiana, Hebert acquired his political savvy serving on the House Un-American Activities Committee and later on Armed...
...usually lasts only one year, can expect to fly 200 to 300 sorties, or about 400 to 600 combat hours. Many Vietnamese pilots have been flying combat missions for years and boast up to 4,000 flying hours, 90% of them in combat. As a result, says General Lucius D. Clay Jr., commander of the Seventh Air Force and son of the famous World War II general, "they can put a bomb in the ashtray on your desk...
