...wonderful play by France's finest poet, Jacques Prevert. It has a subtlety underneath its blatant satire, and John Beck, who directed it for horselaughs, wasn't fully successful. But his staging was fast and broad, and he deployed eight expressive actors, including Sam Abbott, Miss Prutting, Paul Schmidt, Fran Blakeslee and the ubiquitous Mills...
Blond, blue-eyed Bernd Schmidt was captured at the age of 18. That was three years ago, when he and some other West German teen-agers went to the Leipzig Sports Festival in Communist East Germany. One day, passing a stadium exit, Bernd Schmidt was caught in a throng of girls who came pouring from the field after a gymnastic display.

In the infused fluid is an infinitesimal amount-1/90,000 oz. per day-of a mysterious and immensely potent substance called angiotensin. Explained Dr. Frederic C. Bartter, head of NIH's hormone studies: "We know that a lot of angiotensin raises the blood pressure and causes salt retention. What we need to know is whether an increase so small that it does not raise...
