...central, irreducible flaw in Focus is that nothing really happens. The only movement in the play is polemical, and that is more lateral than ascendant. It resembles what was called in grade school parlance a Vegetable Play: "I am a carrot... I am a string bean... I am a cranshaw melon." The characters announce their problems rather than portray them, and then move to renounce them, rather than resolve them. When Toni's friend Nina announces "I have confidence, I'm wild, I'm radiant, I'm magnificent" one wants to grab her and shake her, shouting...
Some carnivors ask not to room with vegetarians. Do they detest soy bean? Well, that's a pity because most of the hamburger you'll be eating at Harvard will contain a good deal of these "protenaceous meat substitutes". After a couple of weeks of the food here, it's not difficult to turn vegetarian involuntarily...
...Cancer Center, Thomas is also a gifted writer with wit, imagination and a bold, encouraging vision of both man and nature. His main theme is symbiosis, the intimate association between even the most dissimilar organisms.

There are also viruses-small, independent packets of nucleic acids -which Thomas believes may have helped man evolve by transmitting bits of the master molecule DNA from one organism to another.

...Museum of Fine Arts has just opened up a very pleasant exhibit of works by A.C. Goodwin (1866-1929), a minor American artist who spent a lot of his time making pictures of Boston. The display assembles nearly 70 paintings and pastels, predominately of Bean Town streets, wharves, gardens and countryside, done around the turn of the century. An exhibit like this probably goes up more for its civic and historical interest than for its artistic merits, and there's nothing wrong with that. Goodwin's cityscapes are fun, if nothing else, and its always nice to know how your...
...London Wax Museum is located at 179 Tremont St. in Boston. Who says the Red Sox is the only culture you can get at Bean Town. This place has 38 different waxen scenes, and all of them should have been candles. No figurine--except for maybe Frankenstein's--looks like anybody in particular. Great fun for the whole family, especially if the family is stoned out of their minds...
