Despite its title, the mistake in Failing doesn't become apparent until the end. This new play by Guy Gallo (winner of the 1977 Anderson Prize for Playwriting at Harvard) and directed by visiting director Lester W.

Such censorship, however, can boomerang. The New York News last week quietly dropped six Doonesburys that poked fun at the paper for its breathless Son of Sam coverage. To be sure that the twitting of its rival be made public, Rupert...
