...third offering of the current Shakespeare-Marlowe Festival, Marlowe's "King Edward II," Director George Hamlin has chosen to present not a poetry reading, but a play. His readers really act--they stride martially on and off the stage, gesture and turn to each other, sprawl about the reading stands, and altogether give us something like a full production. The result is a throughly exciting performance of a great neglected drama...
...underpass may be the best one possible; but the best is often bad enough. For those who use the banks of the Charles for recreation or find the area attractive, it is very bad indeed. Although the proposed "extended-portal" structure would preserve Weld Boat House, it would sprawl over much of the riverbank and make reaching the remainder difficult. Yet the alternative--a conventional underpass bisecting the Boat House and taking even more land--is worse. And since it might cost $900,000 less to build, the conventional underpass may have the better chance of being approved...
...asked for 25,000 additional public-housing units each year, to be added not through new construction but more quickly by Government purchase or lease of existing unoccupied structures. In his freshest innovation, the President offered a three-part program to combat the "space-consuming, unplanned and uneconomic" sprawl of suburbia. Johnson would 1) grant direct loans to help communities set aside land for future public facilities, 2) insure subdivision builder loans to install basic facilities such as sewer and water lines, and 3) insure private community developer loans to help finance land for schools and parks. All this...
...billion, more than any corporation anywhere had ever earned in a single year. Last week, however, an old champion regained the crown. Reporting on the twelve months that ended Nov. 30, A.T. & T. Chairman Frederick R. Kappel informed his 2,250,000 shareholders that the telephone company and its sprawl of subsidiaries had net income of $1.522 billion on operating revenues of $9.5 billion. "The Bell System," said Kappel with ringing understatement, "has had a good year." But still to be heard from is another Frederic who has also had a good year. A month from...
...same thing that gets into most U.S. hunters. There is no shortage of game-just a superabundance of hunters (15 million this year) and a paucity of places to hunt. Wary farmers post NO TRESPASSING signs; creeping asphalt and urban sprawl gobble up more land each year. What open land remains is often overcrowded. Last week in northern Michigan's Ogemaw County, the deer hunter population was 100 per sq. mi. In the East, it is worth a man's life to venture into the woods. "I don't know which is safer," says one hunter. "Wearing...
