...influx of aggressive new talent (prodigal swingman Don Chaney, quarterback-with-a-new-lease-on-life Ernie DiGregorio, and unfortunate-victim-seeking-asylum-and-full-time-power-forward Kermit Washington), reincarnation of former pouters like Sidney Wicks and Curtis Rowe, and long-awaited discipline to present pouters like JoJo White have finally given Sanders supporting players for Dave Bing, Dave Cowens and John Havlicek...
...most popular black leader inside Rhodesia, denounced the military operations as "abhorrent massacres" that would "adversely prejudice" any talks with Smith. Proclaiming a week of mourning, the bishop declared that the dead are "mostly men, women and children who fled from the land of their birth to seek asylum."

Sithole, who was traveling in the U.S. to drum up support for his African National Council, also condemned the raids...

The inmates are engaging, as Weiss meant them to be; by the end of the show, our sympathies are entirely with them, rather than with the asylum director--representing...
...Marat/Sade is the constant presence of lunatics, not directly involved in the reenactment of Marat's death. They remain on stage, becoming the illustration of all that Marat and Sade discuss--they are the Parisian poor, rightfully indignant against injustice in Marat's eyes, depraved in Sade's. The asylum guards are there, too, to underline the absurdity of the statement by the asylum director (Stephen Toope) that everything has changed, that Napoleon has brought demands for liberty, equality and brotherhood to fruition...
