...characters, and holds the work together. For this, Jerry Dodge is unflaggingly admirable. When he says, "And here the maiden, sleeping sound,/ On the dank and dirty ground," his way of dropping vocal pitch on the second line is hilarious. He darts about like lightning, and scampers up a tree as easily as a cat. Indeed, at the core of his performance are postures, gestures, and movements drawn from classical ballet. Although he is understandably not in a class with Arthur Mitchell, who is so extraordinary a Puck in the ballet version of the tale, he is still a splendidly...
...looked like a county-fair town at election time. Hawkers were sold out of balloons and popcorn; hotels were jammed?and charging three times their normal prices. On every street, flags hung from front stoops and gawking kids from tree limbs. Several banners proclaimed: L.B.J...

Last week Suzy was back home, regaling readers of the New York Daily News (circ. 2,100,000) with her tart tales. Items...
Last summer Manhattan's Museum of Modern Art staged a one-man exhibit of Nakian's work that illustrated how his style, as he says, "grew out of me as a tree grows." Born to Armenian immigrants on Long Island, Nakian studied during World War I with Manhattan's Sculptor Paul Manship. By the 1930s, he had won some renown for his idealized, 8-ft.-tall statue of Babe Ruth, his heroic busts of F.D.R., Cordell Hull and other demigods of the New Deal.
