...there's one hitch. The doubling of Bottom and Oberon is quite possible--except for one critical scene well along in the play (IV, i), where Bottom, with his noggin transformed into an ass' head, and Oberon must both appear and speak on stage. We are told that Anthony of Padua, Philip Neri and other saints of eld were capable of bilocation. Are they now to be joined by Saint Cyril? The suspense is hardly bearable; and the answer turns out to be: yes, apparently. Bottom appears; yes, it's Ritchard's voice all right. Titaniz puts him to sleep...

...public proceedings, it was the Administration's view that Johnson's presence there?regardless of summitry?could only invest the session with unwarranted dignity. Yet the U.S. had to speak out. For a forum, Johnson selected a State Department briefing for educators just an hour before Kosygin was to take the podium at the U.N. The President gave a sober, statesmanlike prescription for sanity in the Middle East. His "five great principles of peace in the region" called for each nation's "fundamental right to live" and be respected by its neighbors, "justice" for Arab refugees, unfettered maritime rights, control...

...Ruled by a 6-3 vote that an indicted suspect cannot properly be made to stand in a police line-up without his attorney present. The suspect may not, however, refuse police demands that he speak to enable a witness to identify him.
