...pretty, miniskirted hitchhikers have blossomed on Yugoslav highways; in foreign accents, they ask drivers who give them lifts all sorts of unfeminine questions about Yugoslav troop deployments. Journalists from Warsaw Pact countries are more inquisitive than ever. Hungarian truck drivers carrying loads of tomatoes and paprika to Yugoslav markets wander off the main road and somehow blunder into Yugoslav troops in border regions. Tito fears that Soviet agents, working with die-hard ethnic groups, will make an attempt on his life. But both sides can play that game. Last week three leaders of an exile group of anti-Tito Croatians...
...popular figure in the folk underground. Until recently, at least. Now he is getting numerous engagements in the club circuit; during the past few months he has performed at Manhattan's Bitter End, Los Angeles' Troubadour, and San Francisco's Fillmore auditorium.

When a moviehippie says he just wants to wander around loving everything in sight, we can almost always detect the tone of a lurking scriptwriter at some pains to imply that the sonofabitch ought to get off the streets and earn a decent living. Moviehippies are often surprisingly well-fed (as are, coincidentally, most actors), generally overdressed, spend inordinate amounts...
ROSENCRANTZ AND GUILDENSTERN ARE DEAD. In Tom Stoppard's arresting drama on inevitability, the Wittenberg Wunderkinder wander around Elsinore like two extras to whom no roles have been as signed, and who cannot even decipher whether they are part of a comedy or a tragedy...
