...free election in half a century, tens of thousands of Portuguese workers took advantage of the brilliant spring sunshine to celebrate May Day in Lisbon's huge outdoor May 1st Stadium. Loudspeakers blared, military helicopters chuffed overhead dropping red carnations, and election posters were plastered on every available inch of wall space. To a casual observer, it might have seemed as if the election had not yet taken place. Not so. It was just that after 49 years of repression-and months of intense politicking-no one could resist one more political show...
Next doer, at Paul's Mail, tenor man Sonny Rollins will be playing at 8:30, 10:30 and 12:30. Rollins is the great myth of jazz.

They made two circular patches only 11/2 inches in diameter, folded them like umbrellas and fitted them into a capsule less than a quarter of an inch in diameter.

Crasnick dashes around the stage, eavesdropping on conversations, stage-managing a love affair, and rallying forces against the hypocrisy she so intuitively sees through. Crasnick's Dorine has a delightful charm and spontaneity...
Freud, Spock and Piaget have charted almost every inch of childhood. Psychoanalyst Erik Erikson put the final touches on a convincing map of adolescence. Yet until very recently, most of the charting stopped near the age of 21 -as if adults escape any sequence of further development. Now a growing number of researchers are surveying the adult life cycle...
