...Guthrie Theater, Minneapolis (through Sept. 17). The company will include Julius Caesar in its repertory, giving Director Edward Payson Call a chance to transform Shakespeare's play into a universal parable of the perils of leadership, as Rome becomes a metaphor for an existing political and climatic hot spot (possibly Latin America). Robert Pastene plays Caesar, Allen Hamilton betrays him, and Charles Keating buries...
...June, the North Vietnamese completely surrounded Ben Het and cut off virtually all ground access to it. Though ammunition remained plentiful, Ben Het's defenders suffered from a lack of fresh water and hot food. They also suffered from the lack of an on-the-spot commander. Directing the battle from his headquarters at Kontum, 30 miles southeast of Ben Het, Lien rarely flew into the besieged outpost. As a result, he was unable to make the most effective use of the massive U.S. air power and artillery that were put at his disposal. Communications between the various defending...
When Lola first meets the King his room is filled with depth, but each spot in it is exactly limted and structured by the regular columns which rise from floor to ceiling, by the regular wall-cornicing in the background, by the desk and steps which divide up the spacious floor.

The Delacorte Theater, completed with the aid of $150,000 from the philanthropist, is the site of New York's annual free Shakespeare festival. Another Delacorte gift, the Central Park Zoo's animated clock, is designed in the form of an animal carrousel. As its base revolves to glockenspiel music, the clock chimes...
...steamy counterattack. Then Gray needled the mayor about illegally parked cars near the studio-autos that bore no traffic tickets. Lindsay retorted: "Why didn't you report them?" Finally, after a lecture to Gray on civic responsibility, the mayor stood up and grumped out of the studio. Spotting a limousine awaiting another of Gray's radio guests parked in front of the Madison Avenue building housing the studio, Lindsay shouted at the bewildered chauffeur: "Whose car is this? This is a bus stop-get out of here immediately!" In panic, the driver moved forward, then back...
