Jerome T. Kilty '49 returned to Wellesley to direct and star in his adaptation of Shaw's Man and Superman, which drama critic Elliot Norton '26 has called "the greatest comedy of the 20th century." An uncut performance would last eight hours, and most directors simply throw out the lengthy "Don Juan in Hell" interlude, which is the most brilliant four-way conversation ever written. Kilty's skillful blue-penciling enabled him to retain about an hour of the Hell scene, which makes the last act more meaningful since it refers to the infernal dialogue specifically...

I first trust my instincts to pick the sites, then take a thorough economic survey. If the survey bears out my instincts, we go ahead. If not, I stick with the survey...
Though Tishman is based in New York, the firm has moved into such growing areas as Los Angeles because Tishman feels that development opportunities are about exhausted in Manhattan. "To me," says Norman Tishman, "a piece of underdeveloped property is like an uncut diamond to a jeweler. I don't see it as it is-I see it as it will look when it has been properly developed." Today Tishman operates 31 large office or apartment buildings and three shopping centers in five U.S. cities (including West Hempstead, L.I.; New Orleans; Philadelphia), has other buildings under construction in Cleveland...
