...well. If Whitingham Developer Clifford Jarvis sells 300 lots, he will recoup his initial investment of $1.5 million. He has a lot to do-building those covered bridges, for example, and draining a pond now full of beaver ("We'll have to kill them"). When his work is finished, says Jarvis, "I personally have no intention of staying in Vermont...
Saber Rattling. On the surface it had all looked like part of a familiar cycle-labor v. management saber rattling over money, hours, work conditions -all capable of rational settlement. But the talks between the Met and eleven unions were hampered by past rancors and lack of trust. Bombay-born Zubin Mehta, music director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic and a regular conductor at the Met, last week scornfully characterized the negotiations as an "Oriental-bazaar style of bargaining." Bing speaks openly of the "sheer demagoguery" of his adversaries, and is furious that they don't take pity...
...most crucial dispute is with the members of the orchestra. Last year they were paid a minimum of $14,000 for 44 weeks of work and four weeks of vacation. Initially, they demanded half again as much by the third year of the new contract, but have since come down to a demand for $20,000.

Out of La Mama have come Jean-Claude van Itallie (America Hurrah!), Tom O'Horgan, (director of Futz and Hair), Sam Shepard (the 27-year-old author of Red Cross and Chicago), Leonard Melfi (Jack and Jill) and a host of others. Ellen Stewart announces the evening's program by ringing a homely...
...profile of the "dependency-prone" individual has emerged from recent work with alcoholics as well as pop-drug abusers. He is likely to be narcissistically preoccupied with himself, and be mistrustful of most people. Many heavy drug users, says Anthony F. Philip, a psychologist who heads the Columbia College student-counseling service, are driven by an "intolerable, chronic, low-grade depression," which includes "a sense that somehow they have been cheated by life." Psychologists cannot predict which social drinkers will become alcoholics, and they have no sure litmus test for spotting potential drug abusers either. They warn, however, that...
