...work does not work, precisely because it is all work and no play. She gets little help. Andre Previn's score always misses, without ever swinging. Beaton's costumes are a slight modification of the timeless Edwardia that he prefers to inhabit, and scarcely reflect the spare Mondrian modern that is the mark of Chanel. Lerner's book manages to suggest a rough draft rather than a finished libretto. He must be somewhat chagrined that the biggest laugh of the evening comes when Hepburn spits out the short word for excrement...
...Luther King preaching his dream, Dan and Phil Berrigan raiding draft boards, William Coffin marching for peace, Father Groppi summoning his people out of the ghetto. Even so, the failure of the churches at large to deal with the social and psychological condition of mankind seems to many to reflect a decline of decision and direction.

...Abram Jr., son of the president of Brandeis University, the Independent aims to print opposing views of campus issues. The University of Wisconsin's new opposition weekly, the Badger Herald, promised at first to keep its news columns free of advocacy, but swung quickly to the right to reflect the views of its founders, the Young Americans for Freedom. After 93 years of campus monopoly, the Daily Princetonian is being challenged by an offset giveaway called the Princeton Notice, which veers erratically from left to right. M.I.T. now boasts no fewer than five campus papers representing virtually all shades...
