TONIGHT FECHTOR will give an hour-and-a-half one-man performance on the Loeb mainstage. The program includes pieces such as Tug of War, Suicide, The Piano Mover, The Kite, The Room and The Creation of the World. ("In my particular version of the creation of the world, I play God," says Fechtor.) Some of the pieces have plots, but Fechtor prefers to stress style. "Technical aspects are more important to me than showmanship aspects," he says. "People who come expecting to compare my show to Marceau's are going to be rather disappointed." Don't let his warning...

Then the whole fleet commenced firing. Steam whistles on every tug, steamboat, ferry, every factory along the river, began to scream. More cannon boomed. Bells rang, people were cheering wildly on every side.

...week's end, the great Saigon tug of war spilled into a fourth day with no announced end to the maneuvering, while Kissinger flew off, apparently to Cambodia, for additional parleys. The word was out that Thieu had reluctantly agreed on at least one part of the plan: the ceasefire. But he was also said to be digging in against other key provisions of the Kissinger agreement that the Communists certainly regard as vital. Thieu was reportedly unhappy about the caretaker-government provision and adamantly opposed to any basic change in the present constitution that might open...
