Voltaire's tale of innocence and catastrophe prances through the theater as if it were the wide, exuberantly evil world itself. Mark Baker's puppylike Candide and his beloved Cunegonde (Maureen Brennan) begin in the radiant sweetness of their Westphalia, instructed of course in Dr. Pangloss's invincible doctrine that this is the best of all possible worlds. What follows in Voltaire's gleeful vision is a string of unmitigated but somehow good-natured disasters-banishment, war, scourging, mass slaughter, piracy, the Spanish Inquisition, slavery, concubinage-until at last the wanderers come to El Dorado.

Thus, the policymakers argue, nuclear war becomes unthinkable...
Trouble is, he and others like him, acting on their own, might not be able to afford the expenses involved in proving a complex case. That does "no judicial system credit," said William Brennan for Fellow Dissenters William Douglas and Thurgood Marshall. The three also pointed out that the decision could lead to more individual suits in the state and federal courts where previously one collective proceeding would have covered a specific issue. But the majority apparently believes that tough standards will at least cut the federal work load. Consumer and environmental advocates fear that the new decision...
