FORTY CARATS. Julie Harris portrays a middle-aged divorcee who is bedded by a lad of 22, while her teen-age daughter runs off with a wealthy widower of 45. Directed with crisp agility by Abe Burrows, the show is never less than civilized...
...modest resources. Besides the OEO grant, it gets some money from foundations-used mostly to pay staggering travel expenses. It is housed in a refurbished Columbia University apartment on Manhattan's Upper West Side, and its full-time professional staff is composed of only eight young lawyers (average age 28). All could be getting good salaries on Wall Street, but they agree with Director Albert when he says: "I wanted to do something relevant." Albert, who earns $17,000 a year, went to Yale Law School, clerked for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Byron ("Whizzer") White, and taught...
...age 38, Wolfe wreaks havoc with the old, comfortable under/over thirty dichotomy.

Andrew Wylie read from...

Influenced more by Giacomo Leopardi, the great Italian poet of the nineteenth century, and by Mallarmé, than by the aesthetic exigencies of his own age, Ungaretti shared with his close friends Apollinaire and the Fauvist Braque a profound despair over history's irrationality. But Apollinaire never survived the War, and those who did were so shattered and forlorn that their only response was that of an iconoclastic Dadaism...
