ALL appears now to be in readiness for the return to Broadway of playwright William Inge. Under the combined banner of Robert Whitehead and Michael Wager, Mr. Inge's intriguingly titled script, "Family Things, etc." goes into rehearsal June 7 with the world premiere set for June 28 at the summer theater in Falmouth, Mass.
A FEW minutes after I checked into a hotel in Stockholm recently, a young, uniformed porter delivered my three pieces of luggage to my room. I started to hand him 2 kroner (40 cents) as a tip, for the bags were heavy and awkward to carry.

1965Louis Hjelmslev, Danish linguist and academic (born 1899)[†]
Louis Trolle Hjelmslev was a Danish linguist whose ideas formed the basis of the Copenhagen School of linguistics. Born into an academic family, Hjelmslev studied comparative linguistics in Copenhagen, Prague and Paris. In 1931, he founded the Cercle Linguistique de Copenhague. Together with Hans Jørgen Uldall he developed a structuralist theory of language which he called glossematics, which further developed the semiotic theory of Ferdinand de Saussure. Glossematics as a theory of language is characterized by a high degree of formalism. It is interested in describing the formal and semantic characteristics of language in separation from sociology, psychology or neurobiology, and has a high degree of logical rigour. Hjelmslev regarded linguistics – or glossematics – as a formal science. He was the inventor of formal linguistics. Hjelmslev's theory became widely influential in structural and functional grammar, and in semiotics.
