...writing because we own a home adjoining Mr. Milgram's "Maplecrest" here in Princeton. Without going into a long treatise on the subject, I would like to say that six years ago we bought our house for $14,500 before the advent of Maplecrest. Today the value has increased to the $20,000-$22,000 range. Houses similar to ours have sold for this amount just as quickly "after Maplecrest" as before...
...four songs of Mr. Cutler, who is now a graduate student of composition at Brandeis, were finished two years ago and sound a bit adolescent, a bit melodramatic. They center around the ambitious subject of death and, from their excessive use of tremolos in the strings punctuated by over-orchestrated fortissimo chords, one gathers that Mr. Cutler's concept of death is merely a scary mood, not unlike the effect of the most terrifying sections of a horror movie.

He imparts to his line the freedom one would expect of an ink drawing, while still retaining that rugged quality essential to a woodcut. His style, usually a decorative realism, varies with the mood and subject matter; but in almost every print Amen succeeds in evoking his desired effect, whether it be that of power or of mere cuteness...

It could, just long and lyrically enough, have chronicled a meeting and sustained a mood-and with no tossed-in newlyweds, no shaky final scene. Unfortunately, as a one-acter it would not fit the Broadway scheme of things, though as a full-length play it scarcely fits it either...
...competitive position in world trade. "It is a plain economic fact," said Sinclair Oil Vice President Millard E. Stone, "that the country can no longer afford to let management be handcuffed by archaic work rules which prevent maximum efficiency, nor by the kind of uneconomic wage increases which subject the public to further inflationary pressures. Our continued failure to recognize the impact of labor costs on our competitive standing has brought us to the point where we stand to lose our domestic and foreign markets...
