...another way of seeking extra benefits, the proud and potent Brazilian dockworkers, who take home close to $500 a month but let automatic loading machines do part of the work, are demanding "shame" bonuses of 30% for handling such cargo as toilet bowls and sanitary napkins...
...reminded of the Children's Crusade of 1212, of which Innocent III wrote: "The very children put us to shame." Children are the worst casualties of segregation, as long as it continues. If they can shame the Southerners and the Administration into more appropriate action, they will reap the benefits...
...looks like an English nobleman stalking an elk. His mustache would shame a venerable walrus. He is Theodore Sizer, 71, Professor emeritus of the history of art at Yale, a Harvard graduate ('15) and a 20th century go-getter who gets up and goes in unmistakable 18th century style.

The least known of Brecht's musical collaborators, Paul Dessau, successfully broadens the tradition of Weill, Hindemith and Eisler. Unfortunately, the modified orchestra blares his tunes over Miss Bancroft's not-brassy-enough voice...
