...students who intends the theater as his career, the logical place is a professional school. (I leave aside the question as to whether there is a first class, or even a competent professional theater school anywhere in the U.S.) This remark will probably put me in difficulties with those who maintain that even theater people should have a liberal arts training. Personally I don't believe it is necessary, but it may be helpful--for all but actors; and for them it can be actively disabling, because any subject taught to a serious acting student which is approached from...
What to Do? In a reply to Timesman Canaday last week, Tastemaker Barr tried to explain that his "rather garbled remark" had been "eagerly misinterpreted as an obituary. It was not. American abstract expressionism, in its robust middle age, is going strong"-despite "the hostile attitude of the head critics of the leading New York newspapers."

Ambassador James Wadsworth took the floor in the Assembly to rebut Khrushchev in the same vein...
...debate was tame, but it was still, as both candidates remarked, "useful." Face-to-face confrontation is much more revealing than arguments carried out days and thousands of miles apart; it also disposes of some of the more obvious distortions. For example, although in his day-to-day campaigning Nixon continues to make much of Kennedy's alleged "I would have apologized to Khrushchev" remark, he didn't dare bring it up with Kennedy on the same stage ready to place it in its proper context...
