...MOST conservative piece of the evening was Leonard Lehrman's String Trio, written with frank lyricism, at times slightly oleoginous, culminating in a strong last page of almost botanical beauty. The work is not wholly successful as its ostinato Intermezzo is banal. The piece is redolent of the elegaic Bartok but would be properly described as derivative rather than eclectic...
Freelance Photographer Tim Page, 24, figured it was time to get out of Viet Nam. He was sure that he was pushing his luck. His body was a mass of scars from combat wounds. He was hit in the hip while with the Marines near Chu Lai in 1965. During the Buddhist revolt in Danang in the spring of 1966, a 40-mm. grenade exploded near by, wounding him in eight places.

"The academic community," the Council said, "has the responsibility to deal promptly and directly with the disruptions...

"Best actor of the year-the National Board of Review" they reminded readers. "Cliff Robertson is CHARLY," they trumpeted in full-page splashes. The campaign culminated in a giant double foldout inserted in Daily Variety. Its contents: 83 favorable reviews of Robertson from a spectrum of journals...
