...tottering old men, Beckett is more the toddler; he is the child at bedtime who says "No!" with all of his heart and then gently holds out his hand. And like the child, too, in his awful ambivalence, he is beyond-and before-judgment, so close does he tread on that nether world between creation and destruction...
Such a man might be expected to tread lightly, but that is not Nasser's style. Last week, in his most anti-American speech since 1964-when he told Washington to "go drink the Red Sea" -Nasser accused the U.S. (to which he owes $169.2 million), and the CIA in particular, of "supporting those Arab prostitutes," King Hussein of Jordan and King Feisal of Saudi Arabia, "in a conspiracy against Arab progress." Speaking for two hours at Cairo University, he also excoriated the U.S. for selling arms to Israel and accused Washington of "waging a war of starvation against...
...never wholly succeed. The part demands the range of a concert virtuoso, for Hamlet is both gentle and brutal, passionate and detached, slow to act yet violent in action-a volatile tangle of will, thought, word and deed.

All else, previously beautiful, has faded from our sight. We have become disillusioned as a nation because we hear nothing but Vietnam -- day and night. And in addition to all this ugliness and loss of beauty -- it's damn boring. George...
...tire, can be inflated when needed with a Freon gas can. Developed by B. F. Goodrich, the minispare is guaranteed to last 1,000 miles, will retail at $32.80. Goodrich is also working on a tire whose sidewalls, in the event of a puncture, will fold inward, leaving the tread to form a tight, flexible band around the wheel. Former Chrysler President William C. Newberg's entry may be the most novel of all. The device, called PosiTrac, is a steel rim fixed to the metal wheel inside an ordinary tire, capped with a thick rubber tread. In case...
