Roxbury today presents a sad paradox. Boston's Negro community, because of its active middle class, manageable size, community consciousness, and potential economic viabiilty, has long been recognized as having the almost unique prospect of seeing its problems resolved. Roxbury could become a model for the rest of the country in a relatively short period of time...
...venturesome was the ill-fated Broadway production of Waiting for Godot. Today, the same nerves have apparently been hit by the highly profitable Off-Broadway prank, MacBird. Obviously, these works have little in common aside from their relative popular momentum and their respective pans from Walter Kerr. Beckett's sad farce, already found on at least three Harvard reading lists, seems firmly included in the century's catalogue of major literature.

First, because the AAUP has been unsuccessful in the past challenging three universities, Harvard, Yale, and Princeton: the best example of this was the sad case four years ago of a professor of English at Princeton whose case of tenure was championed by the organization, its lawyers and mediators, to no avail. Secondly, because Teaching Fellows are legally students, and however many teaching duties they perform, they have no legal claim to bargain with the university on the same level that full-time teaching...
Svetlana Berisosova was a sad and delicate odette and a scheming, wicked odile. Nureyev partnered her as the prince, but this is not a ballet that offers much to the male lead. Apart from two rather breathtaking grand jetes, his performance Saturday was an unsatisfying demonstration of what have been acclaimed as remarkable talents...
