...twelfth three-month season in Central Park, where the top price in the 2,300-seat Delacorte Theater is-nothing. Next month Papp-trained Mobile Theaters will be taking free productions of Hamlet, with an all-black cast, and a children's musical based on The Pied Piper to New York's slums. In a partially refurbished 117-year-old building that once housed the Astor Library, Papp is completing a successful first season of contemporary plays at the Public Theater, where tickets are only $2.50. This month he opened an experimental theater where budding playwrights...
When the roof of a Fort Worth building began to cave in beneath his feet, the first thing Building Wrecker Walter J. Piper did was to throw away his crow bar. The act came within a quarter of an inch of taking his life. Sliding down a beam as the roof fell, Piper, 69, plummeted onto the 5-ft.-long, l-in.-thick tool, which had lodged point up in a pile of debris. The crowbar rammed through Piper's scrotum, smashed his pelvis, punctured his intestines, stomach, diaphragm and a lung before stopping within a quarter...
What followed was a combination of pluck, luck and medical skill.

Calling in a chest surgeon from nearby All Saints Hospital, they went...
...Rocky fares no better at Oliphant's hands than the rest of the presidential contenders. A buck-toothed Bobby, playing Pied Piper, is not so much leading as being rushed by a frenzied bunch of women tearing at his clothes. A diminutive Hubert Humphrey, hat and cane gingerly in hand, is pushed on to stage center by a Large But disjoined paw from the wings. A frantic Dick Nixon, decked out as a magician, thrusts his arm into a hat and plucks out a hairy hawk clutching a bomb. "And voila," says Nixon, "we haul out a dove...
...GIFT FROM A FLOWER TO A GARDEN (Epic). Time was when British Folk Singer Donovan, with his dreamy surrealistic ballads, was known as a psychedelic Pied Piper. His new album suggests that he is still a 24-carat hippie; he is photographed decked out in a robe with beads, posies and peacock feathers, and his gentle singsongs ooze various kinds of blissfulness ("His kisses on your brow/You may rest assured peace is coming"). Yet the self-styled minstrel has a stern message to his followers: "Stop the use of all Drugs and banish them into the dark and dismal places...
