Richard C. Marlus, director of Expository Writing, is offering a ten-week lecture series this fall on writing. He said the first-time series is designed to be "a place where people can meet, hear about writing, and then go back and do their own writing...
...many as five plays a week. The company's tours of North America, though, have displayed only a fraction of its versatility: one play at a time.

One of the most important effects of Shultz's trip earlier this month was to restore relations between the two countries to a sort of equilibrium.
