...question has often been asked: "What is Hamlet without the Prince of Denmark?" The answer may be found on the stage of Broadway's Lyceum Theater in Ellis Rabb's APA revival. Rabb is the definitive zombie Hamlet, a puppet rather than a mettlesome prince-passionless, prideless and bloodless. So supine is this Hamlet that he lies on the floor of the stage literally for minutes on end, making one wonder if he is in the royal castle at Elsinore or in an opium...
Shielding Parents. The very first question, says Psychiatrist Charles M. Binger, reporting for the group, was how soon the parents learned of the child's disease. In eight of the families studied, parents had suspected leukemia before any doctor ever mentioned it. The parents' first reactions ranged from outward calm to outright loss of control.

The following day, two Navajo policemen, acting on council orders, packed Mitchell into his pickup truck...
...last spring's devastating strikes. Last week De Gaulle issued yet another "non" to both lavish wage increases and devaluation. He told his cabinet that the wage settlement offer last May was "probably too much. But what has been done is done. In any event, there is no question of going any further." Despite De Gaulle's stubborn determination, a large number of European moneymen regard as inevitable a 10% to 15% devaluation of the franc before the end of the year...
