...work done by the House Government Information Subcommittee in pointing out the faults of our security system has been encouraging, but hardly sufficient. To correct present regulations will require a new approach to public relations in Washington, but such a shift is not impossible...
...forgivable in a small and experimental production, Director Charles Mee has misused and exaggerated Brecht's refreshing approach to stagecraft to such an extent that it seriously detracts from the play.

The railroaders argue that if some method is not found to have the public pay the bill, the alternatives will be steadily poorer commuting service or none...
