Plastic Mentality. Oldest of the guerrilla theaters is the Mime Troupe, founded in 1959 by Davis, who had studied mime in Paris on a Fulbright scholarship. Initially, he and his company of 23 performers-as with most of the guerrilla troupes, few have had any previous professional experience-specialized in silent, Chaplinesque skits. Despite its name, the troupe has since broken loudly into song and speech; and its repertory, performed around the country, includes Renaissance commedia dell'arte, Moliere farces and group-created modern morality plays with so much bawdry that the actors have been arrested by local authorities...
...market is still roaring upwards and testing previous highs. Last week the center of action was Manhattan's Parke-Bernet Galleries, where one blue chip found a dynamic investor willing to bid it up to a new record price. The buyer was California Collector-Industrialist Norton Simon, who paid $1,550,000 for Auguste Renoir's Le Pont des Arts, upsetting the previous auction record for impressionist paintings, set by the Metropolitan Museum when it paid $1,410,000 for Monet's The Terrace at Ste.

A year ago, his government began claiming that IPC owed $144 million in back taxes, the total amount of profits that the company earned in Peru during the previous 15 years. Then the two sides struck the August compromise: Peru would take ownership of the fields, but IPC would help operate them under contract. Simultaneously, the government scrubbed its $144 million claim and gave IPC the right to expand its operations elsewhere. That was hardly the sort...
...thereafter. McCoy refused to wait for a hearing and 250 of the district's 350 teachers walked out in protest. When a black arbiter ruled this summer that the teachers should be allowed to return to their posts, McCoy, instead of capitulating, added 100 teachers who had struck the previous spring to the list of instructors unacceptable to the community. In the meantime, the governing board hired replacements for the ostracized teachers...
