...becomes somewhat confused, especially in the first act. There seem to be a good number of people standing around with their hands in their pockets, but as long as the singing remains of the same quality, the cast could stand on its head if it wished. For those who prefer G & S in the grand manner, the stage may be too simple and the acting underdeveloped. But for those who like pure G & S without ornamental trappings, the production is much superior for its unconcern with frills...

Further, when asked how they would prefer to get news if they had only 15 minutes to spare, newspaper readers plumped 3 to 1 in favor of radio and TV because, most said, "broadcast news is more understandable...

Looking for a share of this market, France's Renault is plumping its racy (up to 75 m.p.h.), efficient (43 miles per gallon), economical (from $1,645) Dauphine. For American tastes Renault splashed the Dauphine with chrome trim, bolstered it with reinforced bumpers. U.S. reaction has been warm.
