...lovely old city where the Danube, Ilz and Inn rivers come together, is Passau, a 2½-hour drive from Munich. At the comfortable Weisser Hase a double room with breakfast is $43. Seventy miles up the Danube is Regensburg, Bavaria's first capital, where parts of the Roman wall still stand. The Regensburger Domspatzen (Sparrows of the Cathedral) are considered by many to be the equal of the Vienna Choir Boys...
...energy conglomerates will walk away with the windfall profits resulting from decontrol. First, his tax proposal, billed as a 50 per cent windfall profits tax would actually tax only 18 per cent of the added revenues that oil companies will rake in from early decontrol, according to The Wall Street Journal.

...Judge Leon Higginbotham, who in his commemoration of Martin Luther King concluded that college militancy is a charade, motivated by careerism, rather than any commitment to help others.

The women's academy setting loosely ties the production into the Radcliffe centennial, reportedly one of G & S's reasons for mounting the show this year. Though...
When Hair the play opened in Los Angeles about 11 years ago, the Aquarius theatre's exterior wall faced the parking lot muraled in a spiralling Beardsley-style medley of psychedelic colors and stereotyped figures on their way to Woodstock. That was when we were in the midst of Vietnam, Chicago 7, Timothy Leary and Hare Krishna. The play poked fun at everyone, including its own heroes to some degree, but some earnest zeal and anger permeated, betraying a sympathy with the movement. Fortunately, the movie is handled with humor and a light easygoing attitude which circumvents the cringing prospect...
