...Surest solution to the space squeeze has been found by Chicago's Marcia Metzger, 19, a fashion model and Sarah Lawrence freshman, who next week will marry Princeton Senior John R. Cooper, 21. Daughter of a top executive in the Erwin Wasey, Ruthrauff & Ryan advertising agency, Marcia will be married in a singlesteeple, knotty-pine chapel built especially for her wedding on her family's Woodstock, Ill., estate. Seating only 17 people, the chapel, which is a remodeled pump shed, has a built-in hi-fi system for organ music and a huge picture window opposite the altar...
...necessary and desirable that host governments should have the major authority for assignment, since most volunteers would have to be integrated into national planning and development programs. It would be wise to accompany this authority with a certain amount of financial responsibility, since authority without investment is the surest way to ineffectiveness and irresponsible behavior.

In a recital at Manhattan's Town Hall last week, Canadian Violinist Hyman Bress threatened to render this excellent ploy obsolete. Behind him, as he played Schoenberg's Fantasy Opus 47, the twelve pages of the score were projected on a screen...
...Updike tells his depressing and frequently sordid story with a true novelist's power. His too-explicit sexual scenes are often in the worst of taste, but his set pieces describing Rabbit's crackup, his confrontations with wife, family, mistress and imploring minister show some of the surest writing in years. Up to a point Rabbit, Run seems to be saying that this is what much of life in the U.S. is like; certainly Updike's scene and people seem too threateningly typical. Yet the real weakness of the book is Rabbit's own. Not many...
