...knack for theater with a sense of truth. With its misfits and misfortunes, all too much of the play could have turned sentimental; only here and there is it a little so. Even more, it could have turned sensational, but bold black words like Illegitimacy and Homosexuality and Miscegenation boil down into what is in the world and what happens in life, and indeed the girl's touching, not unthorny relationship with the homosexual is the best thing in the play.

For just this reason the College Board recently announced a short one (TIME, Nov. 9). To Marson, this is only a small beginning. He calls on colleges to jolt high schools by immediately restoring "honest grading and absolute standards of academic excellence...
