OREGON SHAKESPEAREAN FESTIVAL, Ashland (July 19-Sept. 7). The Tempest, Romeo and Juliet, Twelfth Night and King John are the varied fare of the Elizabethan theater's 29th season. Virtue in Danger, an updated romantic musical escapade revived from the 17th century by Screenwriter-Lyricist Paul Dehn and Composer James Bernard, will serve as the matinee, a light after-lunch petite farce...
Computing Losses. Fires cause havoc in Alaska every year, but the Federal Bureau of Land Management, which has supervision over much of the state's wilderness, considers this fire season the worst since statehood was achieved ten years ago. Authorities hired 2,192 men to stop the flames. As the planes attacked a blaze by dropping chemical retardants at its edge, bulldozers would rush in to cut firebreaks through the timber.

Many Latin American nations are also unhappy with themselves and in search of new paths to progress. That combination...
...Harvard must not be underestimated, either. The Crimson roared unchallenged through four races during the regular season, then scattered a bid by a undefeated Penn boat all over the Lake Quansigamond at the Sprints. Its 6:02 clocking against Navy rates as the best effort of any of the Thames Cup entries, and its ability to grab an early lead and hold it has become a formidable Harvard trademark...
