...avert divorce in Phoenix [July 16]. The Newark archdiocese has tried the same for five years with, at best spotty results. The fact is, the young and not so young lovers determined to marry are going to do so, come hell or high priest. Life's toughest act is to live permanently with another; the surprise is that so many marriages hold firm. This I do know: God will be more merciful to the divorced than Catholic...

Sellars comes into his own in the second act. Futuristic fantasy is more suited to his playland theatrical style. His actors, done up in round bug suits with mops on their heads, race around the stage with shopping carts. The supermarket motif is reinforced in an incessant procession of slides of dog food, toilet paper, peas, and Burry cookies, and in the soothing strains of Muzaked "Hey Jude," "Those Were The Days," and "Lara's Theme." It's tempting to settle back and watch the ads parade by--it may be monotonous but there is a certain sense...
