...clubs, spent the war flying photo-reconnaissance missions. During his remarkably checkered business career, he has been a news commentator in Minneapolis, a Christmas-tree grower in New York, a rancher in Colorado, and a businessman in Havana. He is now married to wife No. 5, Phoenix Socialite Patricia Whitehead, whom...
Mathematics had been partially unshackled from the physical world by the discovery of non-Euclidean geometrics in the nineteenth century, but the publication of Principia Mathematica in 1908 burst the chains. This three-volume monument by Bertrand Russell and Alfred North Whitehead expressed the fundamental concepts of mathematics in terms of still simpler concepts of logic, and showed that mathematics may be viewed as a game of manipulating symbols according to rules. Since mathematicians can adopt any rules they want, the truths proved in mathematics can have no necessary connection with the world outside of mathematics...
...most ambitious effort in the U.S. to date has been Manhattan's Lincoln Center Repertory Theater, playing for the past year in a temporary Greenwich Village theater and scheduled to move into the Lincoln Center complex next fall.

Whatever one thinks of the play, the one thing one can assuredly say is that no Broadway producer would have turned it down. A distinct timidity about striking out to new, non-Broadway frontiers was thus apparent at the beginning. The second choice, Eugene O'Neill's Marco Millions, served mainly to display the panoramic flexibility of the Washington Square stage, a genuflection to physical plant rather than inner spirit. The third selection, S. N. Behrman...
