...from Bucharest to talk the strikers back to work. Pick-wielding miners grabbed the two officials and held them hostage in a pit. At this point, Party Chief Nicolae Ceausescu was summoned from his Black Sea vacation and brought to the scene by helicopter. Surrounded by armed bodyguards, the Rumanian leader warned the miners that unless he can maintain absolute order and discipline, "we will be trampled underfoot by others"-meaning a possible Soviet invasion. He also promised that the miners' grievances would be given serious consideration. After the miners returned to work, however, some of their leaders were...
Their choice of Rumania is no accident. After the warming of relations between Washington and Bucharest a few years ago, Rumania decided to help a handful of Americans pursue medical studies there-a move that would presumably win friends and expand Rumanian influence in the U.S. The experiment seems to be working. One of the first Americans to be recruited, Abraham Jaeger of New York City, has done so well since his arrival in 1972 that-though he is still a student-the Rumanian government has encouraged him to attend international scientific conferences. Jaeger is no longer lonesome for countrymen...
Relatively Lenient. Rumania's attractions are obvious. Though European experts give Rumanian medical training high marks, admission requirements for Americans are relatively lenient. Until this year, when the Rumanians began demanding at least two years of preparatory college. Americans were accepted directly out of secondary school. It was this lure that attracted Raoul Mendelovice at age 17-immediately after his graduation from New York City's highly regarded Bronx High School of Science with an impressive 97% average. Now in his second year of the six-year Rumanian medical program, Mendelovice notes that he will be finishing...
...year, perhaps a third of the cost of attending a private medical school in the U.S. Money also goes further for entertainment. The best opera seat costs no more than $1.50, a sumptuous meal only $3. Perhaps because of their spending power, the Americans (some of Rumanian descent and thus far mostly men) have no trouble attracting female companions. One student told TIME Correspondent David Aikman that he had so many Rumanian girl friends he could hardly fit them all into the twelve-hour days and six-day weeks of his busy class and lab schedule...
...Rumanian-born Serban, who has become the latest fad hero of the self-styled experimentalists, the text is simply a mask that must be ripped off to reveal the unconscious, irrational blood flow of the play. The dramatist is presumed unable to capture the Id of his work in words, so the director imposes a distracting new subtext that blurs, blots out or mangles the real text. In The Cherry Orchard, earlier this season, Serban altered the living space of Chekhov's drama to a kind of surrealistic all-white silo in which Mme. Ranevskaya ricocheted around without...
