...Wieland Wagner, grandson of the great man, mounted his first Wagnerian revolution when he took over the Bayreuth Festival 14 years ago, sweeping away the antiquated Teutonic gods, winged helmets and papier-mache shields from the ponderous, four-opera Ring cycle in favor of a treatment as stark and simple as Greek tragedy. Last week Bayreuth audiences were witnessing Wieland's second thoughts and second revolution. He had recast the Ring in the latter-day terms of Jung and Freud. "I wanted to show how many archetypic, primordial, age-old and yet permanently renewing elements of mankind are contained...

...When I read the story of Pele, the "criminal" donkey [Nov. 15], I was reminded of a similar story of a persecuted donkey by the German author Christolph Martin Wieland.

The return of Gene Kinasewich, who led the team in scoring last season, has given a big boost to the team's hopes, and with Thursday's win it appears that Coach Coonie Wieland has discovered an offensive punch which will balance the team's defensive strength. The defense, led by All-American Dave Johnston, has been superlative all season, leaving goalie Godfrey Wood with a much easier task than his Bruin counterpart. If Harvard defensive play continues as it has, Brown should...
