...play of Ross's current Ibsen cycle, Anne Meacham made a formidable Hedda Gabler; Leueen MacGrath is a lightweight Mrs. Alving. Ibsen's Mrs. Alving is scoured to self-knowledge by the harsh uses of life; Actress MacGrath's Mrs. Alving is so much the sophisticated skeptic that events merely seem to confirm her suspicions.

Even Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, once a skeptic on the subject, now agrees. Boasts Nehru: "There is more talk and action on birth control in India officially than in any other country." As if to back up his claim, the Indian government last week announced that the current sterilization campaign is only the beginning. It figures that if 2,150,000 Indians were sterilized...
