...mother with an almost 18-year-old son who will this fall begin his college career in the U.S. with no fear of the draft awaiting him because of his British passport, I can endorse every word of Britain's Bernard Levin, columnist for the Daily Mail [March 1]. My heart goes out with gratitude to those American families whose sons are holding back the Red tide in Southeast Asia-and with shame for the paltry attitude taken by many in Britain and the Western world who have been only too glad to accept American assistance in their...
...MERGE CUNNINGHAM, 46, Dropped-Out from the Graham company 21 years ago because of her "psychological drift." He didn't want a mother figure, he wanted Dada instead. Ever since, he has been one jump beyond the avantgarde. He was among the first American choreographers to use musique concrète, the first to leave the structure of a ballet to chance. He rehearses in silence so that his dancers will not be influenced by the music. Themes? "Supply your own," he says. Yet for all his seeming whimsy, Cunningham is a dancer and choreographer with serious intentions...
Died. Edward H. Litchfield, 53, chancellor of the University of Pittsburgh from 1955 to 1965, while also holding down the board chairmanship of S.C.M. (Smith-Corona Marchant) Corp. and a handful of other executive positions; when the light plane carrying him, his mother, his wife and two children, and a pilot crashed into Lake Michigan.

...kind man. The MBTA, after all, tries very hard to be kind. "Look," said McLaughlin to the Milton Mother, "why don't you and your friends come on over to our office sometime and we'll talk this over? Okay? Come on now, let's shake hands." But the Milton Mother would not shake hands. And all the people in the corridor outside the Transportation Committee Room were watching, and Big Ed McLaughlin--who had spent nearly ten years here on the Hill as Dorchester's Representative, defending people like the Milton Mother--was very, very embarrassed...
...John F. Kennedy Memorial Library Corporation has been embarrassed too lately. The hearing where McLaughlin and Mother had their tiff was all about the Kennedy Library. After two years of pulling and scraping, it seemed last week that the Library had finally found a place to unload its 12-acre bulk. But now, there are still bills and hearings and hold-ups and Milton Mothers. Doubt is creeping in again, and the Library may not be able to meet its self-imposed, January, 1970, deadline for groundbreaking...
