...Your statement that Communist gunners are so expert that they can fire 25 rounds per minute from 82-mm. mortars [March 15] seems a bit farfetched. Exceeding eight or ten rounds per minute is inviting the weapon to melt and ornament your homemade sandals with white-hot metal.

Enter Hamlet, handcuffed, in a wheeled coffin. He looks scornfully at King Claudius and Queen Gertrude sleeping in a bed near by, yanks the blankets from them, climbs out of the coffin.

Thus begins the strange version of Hamlet that Director Joseph Papp presented last week at his Public Theater in Manhattan's Greenwich Village.
