...BOYS IN THE BAND. Playwright Mart Crowley's characters are first of all wonderfully human. Secondarily, they are homosexual. Kenneth Nelson, Leonard Frey and Cliff Gorman lead a sharply honed cast through dialogue of lacerating wit and excruciating humor...
...warship on the high seas in more than 150 years-not by some great naval nation but by North Korea, which escaped unscathed. North Viet Nam launched the Tet offensive, stunning Saigon and temporarily capturing Hue.

At the Museum of Modern Art, he proved both a brilliant fund raiser and exhibit organizer, putting on more than 20 shows yearly, among the most notable of which...
