Other topics and people mentioned briefly include Vincenzo Arangio-Ruiz, Francisco Carrera de Calatayud, Fulvio Fo, George M. Hoellering, Bruce Kellner, Tavistock Repertory Company, and Jean Vilar. There are also several miscellaneous items including an invitation to an exhibit pertinent to the film version of "Murder in the Cathedral"; a press release; and a clipping about Valerie Fletcher Eliot.
