...Chargé d'Affaires Russell Fessenden was kept waiting while the ambassador of a small Latin American country paid a formal courtesy call on West Germany's chief executive. There was nothing Kiesinger could do about it; by diplomatic protocol, an ambassador has automatic precedence over any lesser rank...
...striking finding is that most Americans regard the violation of traditional morality as a lesser wrong than the attempt to disguise such violation with hypocrisy. The survey confirmed this indictment by posing situations in which respondents had to pass comparative judgment on various types of miscreants, "respectable" and otherwise. Common criminals, militants and the sexually promiscuous almost always came out better across the entire Harris sample than the prototypical Establishment figure who violates a trust. Examples...

Both Ken Evans and Judson St. victor do their share of honest work in lesser roles; one suspects both would be happier elsewhere, but it is in the nature of house shows to conscript all manner of participants, and this particular Eliot House production, spread over Paul Fry's efficiently inspired scenery, speaks well for the institution of house drama...
