...undergraduate who eventually wants to direct on the main stage is tempted to try conventional plays and eschew experimenting, which may lead to failure. The process also tends to fill too many Experimental Theatre dates with shows clearly not experimental.

A show with a majority of undergraduate leads is a rarity, and shows have been produced...
...moderate man who has-if such a thing is possible in Iraq-practically no personal enemies. And his views are more easygoing, too. He feels that an all-out war on the Kurds-which Uqaili was preparing to prosecute in a big spring drive-is an operation that cannot succeed.

However, Hays's chief rival for the nomination is expected to be the man who ousted him from Congress, Little Rock Oculist Dale Alford, 50, who has yet to announce...
...drama at Paramount Pictures Corp. has taken place in the front office rather than the back lot. Charging that Paramount's longtime management had about as much vitality as a silent movie, Baldwin-Montrose Chemical Co. Chairman Herbert J. Siegel and Broadway Producer Ernest H. Martin (How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying) teamed up in a try to take over the company. They bought 143,100 shares, about 9% of Paramount stock, got two seats on the eleven-man board, promised a proxy fight for full control. Last week, however, the drama ended suddenly with...
