Holdovers from the 1965-66 season include smash musicals-Fiddler on the Roof, Hello, Dolly!, Mame, and Man of La Mancha-plus one comedy, the Gallic sex farce, Cactus Flower. Jean-Claude van Itallie's America Hurrah meanwhile continues to provide intellectual and dramatic stimulation off-Broadway...
...price paid for Mao's Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, the damage done to China's educational system may prove the biggest-and longest-lasting-backward leap of all.

Whether they turn vicious or merely playful, all of them sway and totter about a great deal, as if they were drunk. In fact, they are. Once a year at this time, Kruger Park's elephants go on one of the world's biggest binges...
