...season. But few had seen the like of Robert Beverly Hale's opening at Manhattan's Staempfli Gallery last week. His show began selling out* before the first Scotch spilled, remained a pandemonium long after the caterer's bar had closed. It was his first one-man show in Manhattan; were it his last, he would have achieved a lasting fame. The artist, a stooped and apparently quizzical Yankee aristocrat, 59 luxurious years old, was so moved that he invited sundry friends to dinner. More than half a hundred accepted on the spot...
Misgivings. The Deputies fell back, silenced, or complaining in lowered tones. The farmers federations only muttered their "very great surprise." From this brusque drama two conclusions were to be drawn: 1) it is still considered politically unprofitable to attack De Gaulle openly; and 2) clear as the drift to one-man government may be, Frenchmen by and large are willing to let it happen. Nonetheless, a considerable disillusionment with De Gaulle had set in. So far it was largely confined to Parliament and a few Parisian editorialists whose consent to one-man government was based on a belief that only...
...early years Neuberger became, through his many articles and books, a one-man Chamber of Commerce for the Northwest he loved so well. In 1950 he and his pretty wife Maurine became a political as well as a marital team-he as a state senator, she as a representative. In 1952 both Neubergers were reelected, the only candidates in Oregon to outrun Dwight Eisenhower. Two years later, Dick decided to try for the U.S. Senate and, with a warm assist from Senator Wayne Morse (an erstwhile Republican), Democrat Neuberger won by an eyelash 2,000 votes. In 1956 he returned...
...One of the virtues of the Phoenix Theater's lively production is that, as staged by Stuart Vaughan, it keeps a happy balance, values its martial clang and stir, sets broadsword heroics against tankard humor, and is never for a moment a one-man show. But it is no less a virtue of the current production that Eric Berry's robustly nimble and resourceful Falstaff is by all odds the play's best-acted role. Donald Madden's Hotspur is properly dynamic too, though it substitutes mere energy for fire and dash. As Henry, Fritz Weaver...
Nominated last November for President, with John M. Chang as his running mate, Chough proclaimed in his harsh, high, cracked voice: "Korea is fed up with one-man rule. I hope to campaign vigorously." But Chough was already a sick man. Last month he flew to Washington for an operation to determine whether he had abdominal cancer. Thereupon Rhee's Liberals advanced the election day two months, to March 15; it is now too late for anyone to enter against Rhee. Rhee's comment on hearing of Chough's death: "John Chang should be delighted that...
