...sold out, as far as most voters were concerned. Rather, he had kept the peace. Moreover, for the first time a Negro had made overtures to the Indian population. Since many are rice or sugarcane farmers, Burnham's government has been working on new strains that will mean better crops. Also, Burnham allowed India's Bank of Baroda to open a branch in Guyana, declared national holidays on Muslim and Hindu feast days, issued Guyanan postage stamps in honor of the Koran. As a result, Burnham last week carried Indian districts that Jagan had always considered safe...
...language transpositions from the Greek lack eloquence, spareness or precision, and the contemporary colloquialisms iar the ear. Lines like "You mean you intend to kill your mother?" produce wildly inappropriate laughter from an audience saturated with Freud. The prevailing style of the evening is that of neo-Shakespearean swashbuckling, and the barely adequate cast seems to relish all opportunities for bombast and comic clowning.

He has "sprinter's speed plus the mean streak you need to play corner." Maxwell, in the terse, tight lingo of the scouting reports, is: "Fast, with good hands. Covers a lot of ground. Likes to play it tight. Tough." If he were not a junior, another top contender is Jake Scott, Georgia, 6 ft. 1 in., 190 Ibs. He is a blue-streak...
...Glass Booth--A stunning piece of theatre about Nazi and Jewish guilt. It may not mean much, but Donald Pleasence's performance as an Eichman figure and Harold Pinter's direction must be seen. Robert Shaw, the actor, wrote it. At the ROYALE, W. 45th...
