...Housatonic River takes about two and a half hours via the Massachusetts Turnpike, Interstate 91, and the Connecticut Turnpike to Exit 32 or 31. Performances in the air-conditioned Theatre begin promptly at 2 and 8 p.m. There are free facilities for picnickers on the premises; and a vocal quartet, accompanied by a lutanist, perform Elizabethan madrigals in costume on the lawn prior to each performance...
Northerners have already accepted as part of their creed a modern statement of doctrine known as the Confession of 1967. The liberal majority in the Southern church is still trying to develop such a contemporary formulation, but fierce opposition from the denomination's vocal conservative wing may well prevent any new creed from winning the required support: 75% of the church's presbyteries. Some conservatives, however, are quitting the battle. Last year more than 55,000 of them, mostly in the Deep South, established their own National Presbyterian Church. As many as 200,000 more might break away...
...Caspar Dutra, 89, conservative, taciturn President of Brazil from 1946 to 1951; of a heart attack; in Rio de Janeiro. Pre-eminently a soldier, Dutra rose through military ranks to become war minister to Strongman Getulio Vargas in 1936, belatedly latched onto the Allied wartime cause after years of vocal admiration for the Nazi forces, and was swept into the presidency following Vargas' ouster in 1945. Among the highlights of his honest, non-dictatorial but uninspired administration were the outlawing of the Communist Party and of casino gambling, at the time Brazil's most lucrative industry. Dutra...
...prospects of a condemned football stadium, although perhaps exaggerated, are probably very distressing to at least some undergraduates and a large, vocal section of alums who love nothing better than to tip the old bottle while sitting above the 50-yard line. Harvard has not exactly established itself as a national or even perennial Ivy power, but the Crimson hardly deserves the humility of playing all its games on the road or of "borrowing" B.U. or some other local school's field...
Despite deep currents of dissatisfaction, educational reform has been an outstanding non-issue among undergraduates during the past year and over the four years of the Class of '74's life at Harvard. Undergraduates in general have confined themselves to private mutterings. And the vocal minority has tended to regard issues of departmental requirements and organization or the "quality" and "ethical content" of undergraduate courses as liberal distractions from the task of scrutinizing Harvard's involvement in activities outside university walls. With ample justification student activists have seen CUE's activities as involving little more than endless pettifogging over calendar...
