Saber Rattling. On the surface it had all looked like part of a familiar cycle-labor v. management saber rattling over money, hours, work conditions -all capable of rational settlement. But the talks between the Met and eleven unions were hampered by past rancors and lack of trust. Bombay-born Zubin Mehta, music director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic and a regular conductor at the Met, last week scornfully characterized the negotiations as an "Oriental-bazaar style of bargaining." Bing speaks openly of the "sheer demagoguery" of his adversaries, and is furious that they don't take pity...
...people get along without some sort of little satchel," he says. "Mine's really a medical bag," he explains. "When people ask me what's in it I say I'm a pusher." What does he carry in it, then? "I keep my money in it. And a book, in case I have to wait for someone. And the papers I'm working on. And four or five pairs of glasses. And a toothbrush and toothpaste, because you never know where you might spend the night...
...season that is starting, hope must be tempered with reason. At the present time the U.S. theater is in a drastic dual crisis. The obvious one is money. In 1956, My Fair Lady was put on for $400,000; last May Dear World lost its backers upwards of $750,000. The theater's angels, who customarily take their temperatures with a Dow-Jones thermometer, feel distinctly chilly after a sustained stock-market decline. The result is that while 33 new plays and 45 musicals have been announced for the season, only seven plays and four musicals are definitely scheduled...
...nation's theater never lives by money and talent alone. Zest, hard work, devotion and love must be present. One woman in New York epitomizes those qualities: Ellen Stewart, the indefatigable doyenne of off-off-Broad way's experimental Café La Mama. Out of La Mama have come Jean-Claude van Itallie (America Hurrah!), Tom O'Horgan, (director of Futz and Hair), Sam Shepard (the 27-year-old author of Red Cross and Chicago), Leonard Melfi (Jack and Jill) and a host of others. Ellen Stewart announces the evening's program by ringing a homely...
...inequitable as well as widely unenforceable. Most statutes do not distinguish hard narcotics from marijuana, or the pusher from the user. Arrests for marijuana law violations last year totaled 80,000; they increased tenfold between 1963 and 1968. Yet, for all the massive expenditures of police time and money, pot smoking is so widespread that there are roughly 25 times as many users as there are places to hold them in all the nation's prisons. The chances of being jailed for using pot are probably less than one in 1,000, NIMH's Dr. Cohen estimates; only about...
