Overnight the word flashed throughout the various Negro neighborhoods: support Rosa Parks; don't ride the buses Monday. Within 48 hours mimeographed leaflets (authorship unknown) were out, calling for a one-day bus boycott. A white woman saw one of the leaflets and called the Montgomery Advertiser, demanding that it print the story "to show what the niggers are up to." The Advertiser did-and publicized the boycott plan among Negroes in a way that they themselves never could have achieved. The results were astonishing: on Monday Montgomery Negroes walked, rode mules, drove horse-drawn buggies, traveled to work...
...level, white-tie stag dinner at the White House for some 60 guests, including a dozen or so oilmen and bankers-and not including newsmen. There followed a heavy, split-second schedule for Saud; every moment away from business he spent in side trips, e.g., a wreath for the Unknown Soldier, a tour of the U.S. Naval Academy, a basketball game...
Pimples & Pustules. Acne, in both boys and girls, is universally associated with an upset hormone balance (male over female hormones) during puberty. (Eunuchs seldom or never have acne.)

What makes the painting choice is that it dates from Rembrandt's early 50s, when he had risen by force of character above the shallows of his personal life to enter his last and greatest period. In Woman Weeping, his mistress and favorite model, Hendrickje Stoffels (who was censured repeatedly by the church elders for her life...
Both points are clearly not unknown to the director of the present production, Frederick J. Marker, and to his actors, but not all of them are able to take the necessary countermeasure, which is to seek a new and personal interpretation whenever possible. Very fortunately one of them does; Lisa Rosenfarb, in the role of Blanche DuBois, the once-genteel nymphomaniac who finally ends up in a mental institution after she is raped by her brutish brother-in-law. Miss Rosenfarb dominates the play with a generally skillful exposition of the woman's confusion in the midst...
