...studied in every imaginable sort of enclosure, even including a real burrow with specially installed infra-red lighting and glass sides. Thus observed, the symbols of timidity are revealed as citizens in a complex social structure, full of dominant and submissive roles, populated with kings, queens and knaves. The butt of ceaseless fertility jokes turns out to be the master-or rather mistress-of birth control; when overcrowded or undernourished, the rabbit "resorbs" its embryos in utero. Adams' industrious Hazel, Fiver and Bigwig are pelt-deep fictions; in the real world, male rabbits are lallygagging drones. The does, contrary...
...culprit, Knievel sprang at him and beat him to the ground with his $22,000 gold-and-dia-mond-headed walking stick. A crowd of bikers, kept behind a chain-link fence, roared their approval, and moments later stomped on a U.P.I, reporter and ground out a cigarette butt on his forehead.

The moral horror felt by the playwright at the sight of such a character is infused into the audience. John Sedgwick is an entertaining Freeman, the eloquent mouthpiece for some of Wycherley's most incisive observation...
...gloves in the Sox defense played flawlessly but not brilliantly. Terry Hughes scratched the same dust as Brooks Robinson at third and went one-for-five. Hughes made no errors and before each pitch waggled his butt in the air, but Robinson looked like a long-legged goose searching vainly for its eggs when he let Tommy Harper lash one between his pins in the second inning, to give the Bosox a 2-0 lead...
