...wanted "to hear music, not to be preached to." Is it a gross understatement to say that most music carries with it a message of some sort? Kurt Cobain had his anthem of angst and Beethoven's Ninth Symphony carries the message of hope, brotherhood and unity of mankind. Mike Macintosh, the lead singer, had an important message, something important to integrate into his band's music...

...undercurrents of unhappiness and angst grow stronger as the play continues, and tense interludes break up moments of comedy which recall the original "The Ozzie and Harriet Show." The deft interspersing of the serious with the comic can best be appreciated when the audience responds to the jokes and follows the premise of the play to its gory end. The play's ending reveals the cruel absurdity of the characters' attitudes by taking them to their logical extreme. Eventually, David can no longer coexist with his family: his perspective on life has been so altered by his bittersweet experience...

...pains it always implies. This is a newer, more interesting form of innocence than the '50s kind, and when their true feelings burst through, their breakdowns and breakups are really scary.

Though Arledge's move upstairs was carefully couched with paeans to continuity and the sort of praise due a network-news titan, TIME has learned that the executive shift was accompanied by considerable angst. Arledge's contract includes a clause that allows his network bosses, if they wish, to move him this June into the largely ceremonial position of chairman and to appoint a new president who would not report to Arledge. But when Robert Iger, president of ABC Inc., decided he wanted to make such a change, Arledge fought it, arguing that he was still...

...play was most successful when it dealt with Jewish angst. A continual stream of advice is freely and insistently dispensed by the two girls' strikingly contrasting mothers, who have the same goal but different means of achieving it. They just want to do the best for their daughters, but frequently don't have enough foresight to do this well. Ilana Kurshan '00 was terrific as Tasha, Janie's mother, keeping a balance between pushy and pathetic in her interaction with her daughter. This combination of emotions was touching if predictable. On the other hand, Lillian (Aviva Preminger '00), Harriet...
