Several long runs, both here and in Boston, are still going strong. Closest to home, there's A Thousand Clones, the 130th production of the Hasty Pudding Theatricals. The Crimson review said--oh, who cares what the review said. Just see it. The show plays nightly except Monday until March 23 at the Hasty Pudding Theatre; after that, you can catch it in Bermuda. Tickets should be bought in advance; call 495-5205 for info. Vanities, a sweet, well-written little play about three girls who grow old but not up is at the Charles Playhouse in Boston...
...completely understands him. Although a parade of biographers has begun to place tiles in the mosaic, there are still huge blanks. A less imperfect portrait eventually will be seen, but it will always be less than a whole description, because, as Haldeman says, Nixon is the Man of a Thousand Facets. Each of us was presented with the aspect Nixon instinctively deemed most advantageous at a given time. None of us can be free of Watergate's surprises until the last White House tape is played and we learn what Nixon was saying to others in our absence...

The number is crucial, because thousands of Jews remained and were always present in the land of Israel, even after they were exiled by the Romans 1907 years...
...most dangerous effect of corporate domination has been the pretense of objectivity. The belief in an "objective," unbiased, impartial press is radically wrong. In even the most straight-forward reporting there is always a subtle slant, or room for interpretation, and a newspaper will betray its inclinations in a thousand small ways. We hear that the press must be "objective," because it is "powerful" and can influence "partisan" politics. But the press has never lacked power and political influence; only now power is concentrated and therefore more formidable. What the call for "objectivity" boils down to is the call...
