...four-year-old Mongoloid boy goes to school, understands counting concepts to ten, knows his colors, and recognizes many letters of the alphabet taken at random. And he's not an outstanding case-he's simply had the advantage of good medical advice, a good school, and lots of love from family, friends and neighbors...
...mines were sown in a random mix: some are acoustic (set to explode upon locking into the sound of a ship's engine), some are magnetic (reacting to steel hulls), while others are triggered by changing water pressure created by a ship's passage. Still other U.S. mines are "counters," which allow a number of ships to pass harmlessly overhead and then explode on, say, the tenth or 15th ship. Thus a Soviet trawler concentrating on clearing one type of mine would run the risk of being blown up by another variety...

To succeed, it must be the closest of families, bound by a common purpose and a consistent vision. This is the basic strength of Joseph Papp's New York Shakespeare Festival Public Theater. Prolific in quantity and distinguished in quality, the Public Theater's productions are linked by one theme: a running critique of U.S. life today...
