...some 40 chapters around the U.S. The Panthers themselves refuse to give figures; echoing Malcolm X, they contend that "those who know don't say, and those who say don't know." The members include both men and women. Since the once familiar uniform of black leather jacket, turtleneck sweater and black beret has been so widely affected by non-Panthers, they now wear it less frequently. Panther funds come mainly from the 25? newspaper, which sells as many as 100,000 copies a week, and from speaking fees for Panther leaders-although law-enforcement officials contend that...

EVER SINCE I made the mistake of going to see a Hasty Pudding Show, 12 Holyoke Street has been haunted for me-infested by a ghostly chorus line of clubbiesin-drag. The pool tables, leather armchairs, and antique posters survive. but that chorus line has been exorcised forever by Lindsay Crouse and the Cambridge Dance Company. Miss Crouse's production, Winter, General Clearance of Evils at the Beginning of is as ambitious as its title, and, almost incvitably, sometimes falls short of its goals. But when it succeeds it does more than create moments of beauty and excitement; it fuses...
