...Washington, D.C., where King Tutankhamen began his American reign last December, the wait to get in to see his treasures averaged five hours. In Chicago, 2,000 lined up opening day to marvel at the glittering objects found in the tomb of the boy pharaoh who lived in the 14th century B.C. (TIME, May 2). Now it is New Orleans' turn, and though the exhibit has effectively been presented, some of that old Mardi Gras madness has rubbed off on the Egyptian god-king...

In San Diego, 55 miles from Disneyland, is Sea World, the best-planned, best-stocked oceanarium...
...players invest the slapdash plot with wit and perfect timing. Wheeling on crutches necessitated by a recent stage fall, Lloyd's Bill has a saturnine piratical mien worthy of Long John Silver. Though slightly reedy of voice, Meryl Streep renders the Brecht lines with impeccable intelligence. The marvel of the evening is the Kurt Weill score, arguably superior to that of The Threepenny Opera...
