...John Callum's Laertes is simply a stupid, shallow young man. Claudius slaps down the rebellion that Laertes leads to the palace and lectures him like a boy, and the depth of Ophelia's passion at her father's death shows up his foolishness.

All last week Shriver and various Cabinet members trooped into sessions of a House Education and Labor subcommittee to explain the package. Since the causes of poverty are diverse and interrelated, any comprehensive attack on them is necessarily complex. The programs that the bill would permit certainly are that...
