Construction Worker Roland Snyder, 36, a bachelor who lives with his mother in Maryland Heights, Mo., thought that his weight loss and headaches were the result merely of overwork until doctors hospitalized him and learned that he had tuberculous spinal meningitis. The first 13 weeks of treatment cost $13,000. After another five months in a free public hospital, he was moved to a nursing home. His and his mother's insurance benefits were soon exhausted, along with their savings of $1,500. Snyder is now home once more...

The letter suggests that the plan was to hold Kissinger for about a week, perhaps kidnap some other "bigwigs of liberal ilk," stage a mock...
Rubinstein's observation has been echoed by many audiences, who find that the record of the score yields new rewards at each exposure. Far more than George Furth's book, Sondheim's lyrics express the hip, urbane tone of a play about an uncommitted bachelor who watches the games married people play.
