...Pages. Along its lower reaches, the Colorado forms the boundary between California and Arizona, and since the early 1920s the two states have been quarreling over the division of the waters. The dispute almost came to Wild West gunplay in 1934, when the Governor of Arizona sent state militiamen up the river on a scow to halt work on a dam that was being constructed to divert water to Los Angeles. Three times in the 1930s, Arizona unsuccessfully brought suit against California in the U.S. Supreme Court. In 1952 Arizona sued again. The Supreme Court assigned Simon H. Rifkind...

If Guthrie seems to scramble his props, mixing candles with flashlights, snap-brim fedoras with Kaiser Wilhelm helmets, it may be that he means to suggest the wild and whirling confusion of Hamlet's brain, the visible signs of time uncontrollably out of joint. But apparently even the most forceful director can control only the circumference of Hamlet and never its center. The decisive tone and quality of the play comes from the actor who plays...
Come Fly with Me is one of those Three Girls in (fill in your favorite place) genre pictures, and this time the words to fill in are "the wild blue yonder." Pamela Tiffin, Dolores Hart and Lois Nettleton are the stewardesses aboard a transatlantic jet, and their avowed purpose is to promote dates, affairs or weddings with the pilots and the passengers. Dolores is the wild one who zeroes in on a baron with a flashy gold cigarette case; Lois is blue because she is "over 30" and unwed; and Pamela is a way-out innocent on a collision course...
