...student committee had a private meeting last night at which, Hollomon said afterward, progress reports on both the petition and talks were heard. At the meeting, committee members drafted a letter intended for each member of the College's Committee on Houses which disavows Newsweek magazine's "superficial and irresponsible representation of our last Lowell House meeting." The letter refers to the Oct. 23 issue of the magazine...

...then there's Shakespeare, who must be regarded as an accessory to the production. Miss Garson told a Newsweek reporter, 'I was unhappy when I couldn't find a corresponding scene (in Shakespeare)--then I had to write the scene myself. I'm glad I used Shakespeare; it allowed me, an inexperienced playwright, to shape things in the play." Macbeth, Hamlet and Julius Casear provide matrices for most of MacBird's episodes, and supply the better part of the linguistic embroidery. Miss Garson also draws on Othello for bits of martial brouhaha and on Richard II for the pervasive vegetable...
