...unite my destiny with that of a woman who together with devotion to her husband will also bring into this household youth, and may I say, a little BUUU-TEEE!" Not beauty but a final stroke awaits the captain. Propped in a wheelchair, jaw sagging, tongue palsied, eyes of stone, he must hear out his wife as she reviles him with reptilian glee. With a last convulsive effort he sits up, as if in his coffin, and spits at her, full in the face. It is Strindberg's riposte to man's fate...
...Worsts. She is just as uncompromising in her condemnations. Three years ago, while assistant curators winced in the background, she tore apart Architect Edward Durell Stone's Gallery of Modern Art stone by stone. She has panned designs for postage stamps and highway signs, and for good measure, aired her nominations for the "six worst man-made objects"-it was not such a daring list at that: Manhattan's Pan Am Building, Dali's Last Supper, the suburban builder's typical tacky house, some glass sculpture at Lincoln Center, a lamp with a violin...

"This war is such a wretched extremity that almost anything is justified," said a sympathetic Faculty member. "I think it would have been right to take the Pentagon apart stone by stone," Hillary Putnam, professor of Philoosphy, added. "The war continues unabated although millions of Americans are now against it. Because of the undemocratic nature of our society, there is nothing we can do but take things into our own hands to end it," Michael Ansara '68 said...
...kids stop digging the din, the rock jockeys simply move on to another town. Ed Phillips, for example, wowed them in Birmingham under the alias of Mel Kent, then moved to San Diego and on to Los Angeles as Johnny Mitchell, then to San Francisco as Brother Sebastian Stone. Last week he packed up and headed for Manhattan, where he will remain Sebastian Stone on WOR-FM for $80,000 a year...
