...catch on. First, Frank Buchman, the founder, and Howard tried lectures and books. That was in the 1930's. Then there were plays and movies. They had appeal, but it was limited. Howard thought up Sing-Out in 1965 and all of a sudden MRA caught on. The success was sensational. In just a year and a half, the three national troupes and the numerous foreign troupes have sung before two million people all over the world: South and Central America, Africa, Japan and Korea, and throughout Europe. They have been at 84 military bases, and Sayre reports that...
...fringe benefits of a playwright's success is to have his works handled with a delicacy that, though born of respect, wreaks boredom. Sean O'Casey was anything but respected in his life-time and his country: the Irish press frequently denounced him, and a full-blown riot took place when The Plough and the Stars, his 1926 drama set against the rebellion of Easter 1916, opened at the Abbey Theatre. But in the United States, where O'Casey has long been championed by influential critics and directors, the controversy has grown remote. So remote that one of the most...
ONLY one rational argument could be made against the new team of diplomat-warriors that President Johnson has assigned to Viet Nam: the success of its predecessors. U.S. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge, 64, during two tours and 29 months of duty in Saigon, has jjj overseen the wrenching political transition from Ngo Dinh Diem to Nguyen Cao Ky with rare aplomb.

But if the departing officials set a fast pace, the new team that Lyndon...

Gene Purcell, 26, a seasoned detection expert and proprietor of the Blockade Runners, an Atlanta shop that deals in sales or swaps of Civil War accouterments, outlines the procedure. "I get me a spot on a battlefield," he says, "and I go sit down and lean up against a tree and smoke a cigarette, and I think, 'If I were fighting here, where would 1 have dragged a wounded man? Over behind that big rock.' So I detect there...
...reply, Sir Giles is strictly business. "I am," he says, "completely satisfied with the Boeing aircraft's performance and happy with their economics and reliability." BOAC's success under Sir Giles is dramatized all the more by the troubles that are bedeviling its sister airline, BEA. Saddled with an aging fleet and unprofitable domestic routes, BEA received an added setback last year when the government turned down its request to buy $224 million worth of Boeing 727s and 737s. Instead, it has ordered 18 made-in-Britain BAG OneElevens. For the year ending March 31, BEA is expected...
