...STOP, YOU'RE KILLING ME is an apt title for a slightly bloodstained package of three one-act plays by James Leo Herlihy presented by the Theater Company of Boston. The title's aptness lies not only in its suggestion of homicide but in its humor as well-each of the three is laughing on the outside while dying on the inside.

Patricia Saltonstall, a former Washington Star columnist and cousin of retired Senator Leverett Saltonstall, told the court that police had struck her in the face with a rifle barrel. She said she would seek an injunction...
...BELOVED Country is still thriving. We make some few concessions to conscience: PBH will send no volunteer teachers to Rhodesia this year and President Goheen of Princeton agreed last month to stop investing in companies whose fortunes fall from South Africa. But the liberal corporatism of Chase Manhattan and Standard Oil still shores up the regime...
