This year, LaZebnik wrote a new show, Mad About Mintz, a musical comedy about the efforts of an advertising agency to convert a hack poet into the best-selling bard of the country. Armed with a volunteer orchestra and a full production team. LaZebnik tackled Radcliffe Grant-In-Aid for funds to produce the show in Agassiz. The society had a reputation for supporting original musicals, having produced Suffragette in 1973 (now playing successfully in New York) and others before that. But after more than a months deliberation, the Advisory Board of Grant-In-Aid rejected the show, claiming that...
Then out of the blue there appeared a new organization. The Harvard Premiere Society (HPS), which was quickly shuttled through CHUL and proclaiming undying support for the cause of original drama at Harvard, took Mintz under its wing. Since the organization had apparently coalesced around LaZebnik himself there was naturally skepticism about the existence of any long-term ends.

Tonight, tomorrow and Saturday at the Agassiz...
Englewood, N.J., Child Psychoanalyst Ira Mintz reports the feeling among many young people that they are not yet ready for sex; yet they soon discover that society expects them to embrace the new "freedom." For students, Mintz says, "there is no place to hide, no cur few behind which to take refuge, no rule that can be invoked without loss of face." Both men and women feel the pressure. Gynecologist David Chapin, consultant to a coeducational boarding school near Boston, suspects that when it comes to bragging about sexual exploits, "the girls' locker room has replaced...
Some psychiatrists believe that youngsters are afraid of what they so insistently demand; they really want less rather than more freedom. Psychoanalyst Mintz cites the surprising popularity of the Hare Krishna movement. Before joining the sect, many devotees behaved without sexual restraint; as members they have found what they apparently need: "Under the guise of a religious commitment ... a strict, ascetic society with a built-in set of controls...
