Minneapolis' Tyrone Guthrie Theater, Midwestern home of a repertory company exclusively committed to the dramatic classics, is a token of light: the light of ever quickening U.S. cultural interest, and the light of a theater seeking its better self far from Broadway's glaringly commercial White Way.

Double Trouble. The return home of even a token contingent of Egyptians was achieved by the quiet diplomacy of veteran U.S. Diplomat Ellsworth Bunker, 68, who last year put together the Dutch-Indonesian settlement that handed West Irian to Indonesia's Sukarno.

It said that Saudi Arabia was prepared to stop supplying the royalists supporting ex-Imam Badr with money and munitions, while Nasser may withdraw a token contingent of his 28,000-man Egyptian expeditionary force by April 20. Though Nasser's broadcasters are not the most reliable sources in the world, things may well come to this, for without doubt Jordan and Saudi Arabia-and all other Arabs-are becoming increasingly anxious to avoid angering Nasser...
