...someone who cooks his own in a Radcliffe co-op, may I suggest that Mr. Kupferberg rethink his opposition to the cheese souffle, the rice and bean casserole, and the friendly omelette? Who knows? He might even decide to live in a co-op like Radcliffe's Jordan K, where, as in the real world, switching to five meaty days a week would be no cutback. Adam Glass...

...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...

His main theme is symbiosis, the intimate association between even the most dissimilar organisms. For example, he points out that bacteria called rhizobia live in the roots of bean plants and enable them to utilize the nitrogen in the soil; without these parasites the plants would die. 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. Even...

...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...
