Evgeny Evtushenlco, 34, is dropping salt in the samovar again with yet another batch of soul-scraping poems published in the Russian journal Znamya. The poems derive from his six-week tour of the U.S. in 1966, and one in particular-Monologue of a Blue Fox on an Alaskan Animal Farm-seems an especially bold statement of the rebel's own schizoid loyalties. The fox shrills for freedom from its cage, where it is held because of the value of its fur. Then it discovers that the door to its pen has been left open, only to make...
Ratings-wise, as they say at the networks, the first half of the 1967-68 TV season has been seismographic.

In a six-week battle during which both sides spent about $550,000 on advertising alone, Weinstock won about 70% of A.E.I.'s shares...
...normal theatrical troupe. Yet none of the principal actors of the National Theater of the Deaf utters a word, and only one of them can hear. No matter; the pacing and performance are unmistakably professional, and the critical notices are in the rave category. Currently on a six-week tour of 18 Northeastern cities, the company opened at Manhattan's Hunter College Playhouse last week to tumultuous applause...
