...another modern work called Play, a title which has been pretentious for several years now Hart, who oddly enough directs and stars as well, casts vet another glance at that eternally popular topic: who is insane, society or the non-conformist? Society, typified by Bruce (Hart), wears a tuxedo, goes to college, talks in TV commercial slogans. Bruce's friends are Harry (Nathan Taylor), who likes to screw girls, and Erica (Barbara Lanckton), who goes to bed with Harry and later slits her wrists when the world becomes incomprehensible. Intruding among them is Harry Sternberg (Jerry Winters), who is married...
...committee to keep this new voice alive. Representatives from about 25 institutions met to form a Cambridge-based Committee of Concerned Asian Scholars, chaired by Professor John R. Watt, who teaches Chinese history at MIT.

...petition Reischauer argues that the Administration's conduct of the war has not been sufficiently directed toward the earliest possible attainment of a peaceful settlement. In the Tuxedo Park statement, he and his colleagues declare that the American record in Asia is "a remarkably good one, worthy of support"--one "of which we can be proud." If Reischauer is indeed proud of a policy that by his own admission has not done everything possible to end a war that is costing hundreds of lives every week, then his values are very different from our own and from those that would...
