...guess I'm not really a very reliable guy," Oliver Wellington Sipple remarked last week. It seemed an odd comment, for it was Sipple who grabbed the arm of Sara Jane Moore as she took a shot at President Ford, perhaps helping to save the President's life. But then Sipple hardly conforms to any stereotype of the all-American hero...
...Vienna convened in 1814, four months after Napoleon's exile on the island of Elba. It continued for much of the following year, even while the French Emperor made his last futile effort, in the famous Hundred Days, to recapture the glory that had been his France. After Wellington put an end to that dream at Waterloo, the leaders of Europe's Quadruple Alliance -Czar Alexander I of Russia, Frederick William III of Prussia, Lord Castlereagh of Britain and, above all, Prince Klemens Wenzel von Metternich of Austria -were free to determine in Vienna the future...

Never rode the Orange Line before (has anyone?); seems like the perfect time to give...
Then comes the spanking new station at Sullivan Sq. Large-scale bustle and commotion. What's this? The end of the line? Everybody out! What happened to the glory of Wellington? The Promised Land of oak Grove? Next, year, it turns out (or maybe the year after). What a bust. The Old Orange Line want to Sullivan Square.

This is the biggest excitement to hit Boston since the Red Sox lost the pendant last year...
...Pelican is not one of Strindberg's best-known plays in fact, it is sort of obscure. The Loeb has had a tendency lately to put on bad plays by good playwrights (this is called the Wellington's Victory syndrome) and I hope The Pelican is not another example of that. Anyway, see Janny Scott's review tomorrow on page...
