...Paris before the 21st century. The Netherlands, Sweden and Russia have already built a number of new towns. Tapiola, Finland, an urban Shangri-la six miles from Helsinki, is the new town that comes closest to meeting the ideal. Tapiola's main shopping center is a magnificent paved plaza. Nearby are a movie house, theater, hotel and swimming pool. Since no house is more than 250 yards from a shopping and amusement center, residents do most of their traveling on foot...
...only a probing action, but it shook the very foundations of the fortress. Since 1907, the Oak Room of Manhattan's venerable Plaza Hotel has been an all-male bastion for three hours every weekday at lunchtime. Until last week, that is, when 15 members of the National Organization for Women, led by that superfeminist Betty Friedan (The Feminine Mystique), 47, demanded entrance on the ground that their civil rights were being violated.

Last season, only 13 productions out of 74 returned their investment; and only two, Plaza Suite and Hair, will return substantial profits.) Usually, a hit is a hit from the outset. This season two Broadway musicals besides Dear World have tried out here; both were well received by Boston critics. As a result, one, Zorba, underwent minor cutting and restaging, but no major changes. The other, Promises, Promises, got three new songs, of which one ("I'll Never Fall in Love Again") was considered an important addition...
