...ENGLAND Conservatory production was extremely successful musically, and somewhat less successful visually. The purpose of the production was to present the opera as a naturalistic drama.

Pueblo and the eleven-month ordeal that he and his crew endured while they were prisoners of the North Koreans. The tale he told was one of almost unbelievable hardship and endurance, and it left unanswered many troubling questions about higher-echelon complacency and shortsightedness...
...mutual antagonism, provocations have multiplied. Almost every week brings a new incident. Over radio station WBAI-FM, a Negro schoolteacher named Leslie Campbell recently read a poem dedicated to Albert Shanker, the Jewish president of the U.F.T. It began: "Hey, Jew boy, with that yarmulke on your head. /You pale-faced Jew boy?I wish you were dead." The teachers' union has filed a formal protest with the Federal Communications Commission...
