...indeed intended to be Spanish--or is it Mexican? There are Spanish guitars; Petruchio and even Kate herself puff long cigars. Why all this Hispanicism for a work that makes so many specific references to Padua, Pisa. Florence, Mantua, Rome, Verina and Venice? Even the virtue of consistency is absent, however--especially in Hal George's costumes, which range in style all the way from the Renaissance to Dickens...
Other, richer employers set up trusts to provide retirement incomes for servants, write legacies into their wills, and hand out handsome Christmas bonuses.

Instead, a polite, restrained, and occasionally affable man fielded questions from a panel of critics that included: Benjamin I. Schwartz '38, professor of History and Government; Albert M. Craig, associate professor of Japanese History; Thomas Skidmore, assistant professor of History; David Butler, president of the Harvard Graduate Political Club; Alan Gilbert '65, an officer of the Harvard-Radcliffe chapter of the May Second Movement; and Michael D. Lerner '65, a member of the CRIMSON editorial board...
