...detractors would have it, because he can't play any other way, (A high-point of the New York concert was he and Jagger in a between-songs duet; Jagger would yell, "Alright !" and Charlie would respond with masterful drum riffs.) Laid over the percussion are Wyman's restrained bass lines, and this combination provides the thrust and visceral power of the Stones' music. With the drum/bass as floor, the two guitars fight for control, continually re-emphasizing the forward thrust of the bass, while Jagger's alternately sneering and raging tones proclaim through this wall of sound the primal...
...father, but I will not get married," Mick announced. "I don't give a damn about convention." Three months later, Marianne had a miscarriage. In January, Jagger and Keith Richard were kicked out of a hotel in Lima because of their unconventional dress, or undress, or both.

Len Cariou's honest Pedro, Wyman Pendleton's pipe-smoking Antonio, June Prud'-homme's loudmouthed Ursula, Mary Doyle's saucy Margaret, Tony Van Bridge's apoplectic Dogberry, James Greene's perceptive Friar, and most of the lesser parts are in highly capable hands. Of the latter, William Hickey's Second Watch is a wonderfully funny...
Last year Mrs. Green lost such a battle with her proposed extension of student loans. The House voted overwhelmingly for the amendment of Rep. Louis Wyman (R-N.H.) that Federal funds should automatically be cut off to students refusing to obey a "lawful regulation or order of the college ... tribution to the disruption of the university."
