Siobhan McKenna, between her stints in New York as Saint Joan, returned Sunday to Sanders Theatre--the scene of her first triumph last August--to present "An Afternoon With the Irish Poets" under the auspices of the Poets' Theatre. The result was one of the largest throngs within memory. A few hundred of those who lacked foresight enough to obtain tickets far in advance were lucky and happy to get into Memorial Hall just to hear Miss McKenna's voice piped over a loud-speaker...
Hers is a real triumph in Happy Hunting, but-as Merman triumphs are measured-a minor one, what with a book that has at best a routine brightness, and a score that sometimes lacks lilt even where it seems reminiscent.

Their case was sometimes exploited politically in a horror campaign against U.S. use of atomic weapons, but the story quickly turned into one of medical triumph. Last week the first before-and-after pictures of the patients to be published showed the striking success of Mount Sinai's surgeons (see cuts). Back in Japan with the other girls, Shigeko Niimoto-whose deformities had been the worst-is studying to become a nurse's aide. Said...
