Mediterranean Correspondent Lee Griggs was the last TIME reporter to interview Nasser-on May 2, 1969-and like the others, he was impressed. "Nasser," said Griggs, "absolutely charms the socks off you." Modesty, maintained Griggs, was his method...
...tactic of "trashing" has become a familiar enough method of the left. Now it seems to be spreading to improbable quarters. During a strike of building-service employees, residents in one apartment building in the fashionable Riverdale section of New York City grew enraged at having to do without hot water. Finally, some of the tenants, who pay up to $800 a month for their apartments, stormed through the lobby, ripping up rugs, smashing furniture and windows, uprooting potted plants and tearing off wallpaper...
...pesticides, but mainly for "emergencies." They now prefer to use the bugs' natural enemies. Culex, for example, can be controlled by the mosquito fish (gambusia) and the common guppy which eat mosquito larvae in water. Certain bacilli, when applied to pasture land, also kill mosquito larvae. Another method includes releasing large numbers of male mosquitoes of the same species but of different strains. Because of genetic incompatibilities, the eggs of the females fail to hatch...
Compare, for instance, the warmth and easy rapport of these obviously experienced players-now in their fifth season-with the seemingly bogus spiritual communion of the Loeb actors in last year's Grotowski experiment, The Three Sisters. Grotowski's method was salient throughout the production, but it didn't add to (frequently detracted from) Chekhov's script.

What it does have is a remarkable optimism which can be felt if not communicated. "Man can and should be a determiner of life rather than a victim," the program notes blazon. Thus, in the Old West Church in Boston, in the midst of some harrowing Urban Renewal skyscrapers, a theatrical group has thrown off the pessimist syndrome which Daniel Moynihan recently tabbed "mediocre." Unfortunately, at this stage in its development, the HTC lacks the artistic expertise to complement...
