What if the average person were to live 300 years? Or 3000? Well, this is the problem examined by Bernard Shaw in his Back to Methuselah. This play is getting its first American production since the 1922 world premiere in New York. It is especially welcome and timely in view of Wellesley's current presentation of Man and Superman. For Shaw wrote Methuselah in 1921 as a companion sequel to his Superman of 1903. In the earlier play Shaw argued his thesis, taken from Schopenhauer, that woman is the pursuer rather than the pursued; and his ideas, taken from Bergson...
...that kind of inflation rather severely in 1954, 1955 and the first quarter of 1956. It is now over." Harrod calls this kind "demand-induced inflation." "The other kind is cost-induced inflation. This happens when money wages rise more on the average than output per person." It is this kind of inflation that currently grips Britain, which has enjoyed no such rise in productivity as Germany and France have had. The British government accepts this analysis. Last week Chancellor of the Exchequer Peter Thorneycroft said: "If a nation pays itself 7% more for doing no more work, as happened...
Rear Admiral Carrero (a weekend Navy man who got his admiral's rank only this spring) went on to describe Franco as "one of those gifts that Providence grants a nation every three or four centuries," a man "fundamentally antiliberal, anti-capitalist and anti-Marxist."

"If Verwoerd were so foolhardy now as to try to implement his church clause," said the conservative Johannesburg Star, "he would make an eternal martyr of the first person arrested, set the Anglican church in revolt, and probably spark off a series of events that would convulse the entire country." But that was not all. The Presbyterian Church declared church segrega tion "morally indefensible," the Baptists announced their conviction that the government's policy "had no sanction...
...behind?" He was speaking of Mike Stokey's ten-year-old TV show, the undisputed dean of summer replacements, which early this month, as dependable as lightning bugs, made its annual return to network TV. As in last summer, Pantomime Quiz is replacing Ed Murrow's Person to Person (Fri. 10:30 p.m., CBS), and its frenetic actors will gambol and gyrate through the dog days until Murrow's return on Sept. 13. "In the winter," says Mike Stokey, "I hibernate...
