Born. To Zoe Caldwell, 35, Australian actress who won a Tony for her first big Broadway hit, The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, and Robert Whitehead, 53, her producer in the play: their first child, a son; in Manhattan...
...conviction of John Sisson Jr., a Harvard graduate who had never even applied for a C.O. classification because he is "not formally religious," and his objection to being drafted was solely related to the Viet Nam war.

Or is the U.S., as others insist, a doomed society, grown divided and decadent even before it could come to maturity? Not only hope but hard evidence points to the Whitehead hypothesis. One thing ought to be clear from experience. Whether...
