...Sweet Eros, a play by Terrence McNally, is still running at Theater Two near Kendall Square. This is Cambridge's current brush with the avant garde, so if you go in for that kind of thing you might as well see this before the U.S. Attorney follows his Boston act and closes this one down. It's playing with Michael McClure's The Beard, depicting the sexual confrontation between Billy the Kid and Jean Harlow. This could have been a lot better, but it's sort of cute. For the next two nights the performances begin at 8. Sunday...
...Sweet Eros will be playing Tuesday through Thursday at Cambridge's Theater Two if the police let the show go on.

From star-cross'd lovers to the rose that by any name would smell as sweet -all these have become bromides. One can sometimes sympathize with the tired businessman who refuses to see any more Shakespearean productions because they are too full of quotations...
...Sweet Atmosphere. Looking ahead to the visit, both Moscow and Washington took steps to sweeten the atmosphere. In his Annapolis speech, Nixon made it plain that he did not think it proper, as voted by the House and advocated by Senator Henry ("Scoop") Jackson, for the U.S. to insist that the Soviet Union liberalize its emigration policies before granting Moscow trade concessions. The Soviets have denied many Jews permission to leave the country...
