...deadlines for Nebraska, Oregon and Indiana fall one after another this month, Rockefeller will doubtless be criticized for his decision to remain aloof, but it seems unlikely that he will reconsider at this stage. Yet his drive needs some impetus. By week's end he had already given tacit consent to the formation of Rockefeller-for-President groups in each state, and organizational work was beginning. These units may soon be meshed into a national organization. It is still questionable whether a draft can be induced in this manner for Rockefeller. Moreover, by boycotting the primaries he will...
Though Dziady, written by Poet Adam Mickiewicz in 1832, has long been a staple of study in nearly every Polish high school, its appearance on the Warsaw stage a few weeks ago caused an uproar. When audiences laughed too loudly at the anti-Russian lines, the government's censors closed down the whole production.

For Helen Hayes, the role was the apex of an acting career. For Dorothy Tutin, 37, whose dramatic resources are rich, varied and unspent, it is more like a tiara worn with casual ele gance. William Francis' Portrait of a Queen, which opened on Broadway last week, is not so much a play as a pastiche-part documentary chronicle, part dear-diary journal, part dusty archive of political feuds. Most attractively...
...sacrifices still more sound quality. But it boasts two big advantages. Unlike most cartridges, it can be wound forward or backward for playback of selected portions of the tape. And a blank cassette can be used in most players to record directly from radio, TV, disks-or a concert stage...
