...twelve blacks elected to Congress last week, offered his thanks to "my public relations expert, Spiro T. Agnew." His comment was far from gratuitous, for when the Vice President attacked Dellums as an "out-and-out radical," Agnew rattled the voters in the white liberal community of Berkeley and the black ghettos of Oakland into the voting booths. Democrat Dellums, 34, social worker and member of the Berkeley city council (who had often acted as go-between for the council and campus radicals), drew vice-presidential fire for his defense of the Black Panthers. While Democratic candidates elsewhere scampered toward...
...weren't already obvious to all the world that Hollywood is nothing but a sexist conspiracy, Washington's American Film Institute has gone to the trouble of collecting some glaring examples. Among them: Choreographer Busby Berkeley's Dames, with its kaleidoscopic chorines demonstrating "the woman as object"; Katharine Hepburn in Woman of the Year, playing a liberated female journalist, only to fade out in the kitchen when Spencer Tracy calls her "unfeminine" because she can't cook; Bette Davis' surrender to Henry Fonda in Jezebel which, according to the program notes, is "an object...
Perched on a sloping site across from the main campus, it looks like a giant poker-hand of five concrete slabs, fanning down the hill.

...theatrical entrepreneur Flo Ziegfeld tries hard but is equally unlikely. The best: a Ziegfeld production number called "His Love Makes Me Beautiful." Eight deadpanning preppies running around with sequined mirrors create an infinitely better satire of a Follies extravaganza than a hundred would-be Eddie Cantors-the Busby Berkeley approach taken by the movie version. (John Cook as the Headmaster of this particular enterprise is hilarious.) All the big production scenes-notably "Cornet Man" -benefit from the same approach. But imagine these guys dancing away at Fanny's mother's saloon on Henry Street. Posture?! They all look like they...
...latest crop of these plays is difficult to describe, but they seem more like fraternity-nite skits than ever. There is the revival of the thirties musical with staging by Busby Berkeley. There is the story of Noah and the flood adapted to spotlight Danny Kaye. Like desert dustballs, No No Nanette and Two by Two blow through New Haven, Washington, and Boston collecting whatever money and publicity they can find on the trail, and finally unravel their filthy mess on Broadway. The major part of Boston theater, especially with the disappearance of the Charles, is devoted to this publicity...
