There are other craft on the canal as well. A transportation department tug, painted a bright blue and yellow and looking more like a child's bathtub toy than a working boat, passes the Peckinpaugh toward midmorning, heading east for Utica. Otherwise, the only other boats are recreational, mostly Canadian boats using the canal to get to the Hudson and the Atlantic Ocean.

Christopher Moore is the "lucky paranoiac" who gets to play Marat. Suffering from a skin disease, the feeble and pinched looking Marat crouches in a bathtub. His fervent speeches sound simultaneously noble and pathetic as he bleats them in a madman's wavering voice. Although sympathetic and believable, Moore lacks the personal force of a rabid activist.

...hope of becoming physicians. Jeanne O'Connor of Staten Island, N.Y., remembers the day she landed at her school on Montserrat: "Mosquitoes were biting me from all sides. When I got to my dorm there was a tarantula in the closet and a lizard in the bathtub. I sat on my bed and cried."
