Ironically, the one outstanding play of the season has been O'Casey's. In its dignity, freshness, and language, it is the antithesis of stilted and mechanically "avant-garde" off-Broadway. Hopefully its success will indicate that tourist theater cannot totally swallow up decent theater downtown...
Voting Republican is an ancestral birthright in New Hampshire, but in this election the state might swallow its pride and elect some Democrats.

...Samuel I. Newhouse, 65, the little-known press lord whose 14 daily newspapers form the nation's fastest-growing newspaper chain, anything less than absolute possession of a paper is unthinkable.

The big-lie technique, the phony "threats" to Germany from future victims (Austria, Czechoslovakia. Poland) are documented to the hilt...
