...tragedy, partly because of the ungirdled brilliance of his players. Robards, bedecked with a massive home-grown mustache, spread backwoods brio all over the crusty landscape, and Olivia de Havilland, all frailty and flutteriness, tottered after him without losing a step. Author Porter was astonished that show busi ness could be so kind. "After what they did to my poor Ship of Fools," she said last week, "I was just crushed. I didn't expect anything like Noon Wine." Neither did anyone who had previously watched Stage 67; but expectations now are downright bullish...

What makes Scandinavia unique, he declares, is that its social benefits have accumulated slowly over almost a century, with no particular impetus in the past three decades.

Indeed, had it not been for the compulsory withholding taxes taken out of wage earners' paychecks, the gov ernment might well have used up its entire income tax receipts just...
...corporate executives, to articulate the moral issues involved in their work lives. Founder of the movement is Episcopal Father Hugh C. White Jr. Inspired by England's Sheffield Industrial Mission, he quit a pastorate in the Detroit industrial suburb of Ypsilanti to spend three years learning what modern busi ness was all about. In 1956, with the encouragement of the Michigan Council of Churches, he set up the Detroit Industrial Mission. Now there are simi lar missions in ten cities, linked by a national committee that last month held its first organizational meeting in Bos ton, coaxed Father White...
