During the two unbroken hours of action that followed, Actor Yan Brian recited a passage from Thus Spake Zarathustra while climbing a ladder, male dancers struggled for balls of rolled-up newspapers, a black-clad hag buzzed around on a scooter and recited folk poems. Men and women frugged wildly to rock-'n'-roll music, imitated coitus to electronic pings and a soft-voiced reading of the Song of Songs, staged a mock war between classical and modern ballet, and ended looking up expectantly while the noise of jet engines screamed overhead. Then, during ten minutes of bravos...
Back to the Burglar. In the first game of the Series last week, all the heroes belonged to St. Louis. On to pitch came Veteran Righthander Bob Gibson, 31, twice victor over the New York Yan kees in the 1964 World Series, twice a 20-game winner, and well on his way to another big season before a line drive broke his left leg last July.

...independent country that has detached herself from the tutelage of the U.S." In Latin America, so long and so completely dependent on the U.S., De Gaulle is getting to be the image of El Macho, the big boy, who has shown everybody how to deal with those Yan kees. De Gaulle recognized Red China despite U.S. disapproval; he more or less rules the Common Market and all but ignores NATO. He is, in fact, a sort of "respectable Castro" to many Latinos. "In Latin America," said a senior French official in Paris, "it may be either Castroism or Gaullism...
