...Spiro Agnew Show, which seemed at first to be a one-shot special, may have gone weekly. Exactly seven days after the Vice President telecast his Des Moines attack on TV newscasters and commentators, he went on the air again, this time to flay the New York Times and the Washington Post Co. Unlike the premiere, the second installment, from George Wallace's own Montgomery, Ala., did not get network coverage. But it was telecast, live or on tape, in some cities, including New York and Washington (where it was carried by the Post's WTOP...
Agnew again zeroed in on a worthwhile subject when he turned to the diminishing newspaper competition in many American cities. With so many newspapers dying, he said, many of the survivors have "grown fat and irresponsible." True enough, although the New York Times is not a convincing example. It may be true that the Times would be still better if it had more competition; but most professionals would disagree with Agnew's claim that the Times has got worse since the death of other New York papers...

Playwright Oliver Hailey's Who's Happy Now? may not be autobiographical, but it has the indelible sound of private experience. His play belongs among the most perceptive portrayals of the son-father relationship that have been brought to the stage. Its special quality is that it is an Oedipal farce, zany, effervescently comic and full of as many crazy laughs...
...Harvard, militant black students briefly cooperated with S.D.S. raiders in occupying the office of Dean Ernest May to protest the university's allegedly racist employment practices. The black-white alliance broke down when the white radicals insisted on holding May captive. Arguing that such a move would serve no useful purpose, the black students ushered the dean through the S.D.S. ranks and out of the building...
