While the dance hall is a rapidly vanishing institution for the rental of female flesh, some examples of this type of establishment still can be found in the third stories of schlock discount stores and greasy two-bit eating joints. These are places where much-used women dance with strange men for upwards of six dollars an hour. They are not very cheery places, but they nonetheless form the setting for the new musical film Sweet Charity...
...THAT we are no longer a commercial success, Cambridge has begun to take us into its heart." Jeremy Leven, producer-director of The Light Company, managed a smile as he reviewed the political entertainment's first few tumultuous weeks last Saturday night. Leven--anything but the romantic-type artist, delighted to cough his life away in a cold-water flat-knew he still had a fight on his hands if he wished to save his current project. He knew that while financial failure might bring popular acclaim in this looking-glass city, it just doesn't pay the rent...
Meanwhile, the U.S. debate over the arms question is taking on national proportions, spurred largely by the anti-ballistic missile (ABM) project called Sentinel. Until 1967, McNamara resisted pressure from the Joint Chiefs of Staff to go ahead with this type of weapon.

Heading Allen's list of priorities are urban ghetto schools, where he feels federal funds can have the most impact.

"But rarely have we provided the type of teaching that a deprived child really needs." Desegregation and better teacher training are his next big goals. "We are shooting for the millennium," he says, "the time when man respects man." The school, he says, should not be a sheltered island in the community...
These are the types of questions which the press should have been attempting to answer if those who rely on it are to make accurate judgments of what is happening politically in the nation. For too long the national press dealt with Wallace only in order to denigrate him--not seeking to explain why he attracted the type of support that he did. For many weeks following McCarthy's Granite State victory, many columnists continued to say that the vote was based on Johnson's personality rather than on the war. Greater emphasis on non-personality-oriented reportage might have...
