Early on the day Arthur Christ Agnos was elected the 37th mayor of San Francisco, a violent storm unexpectedly swept across the city, dumping hail, downing power lines, flooding streets. For a brief time chaos reigned. But shortly after the polls closed in last week's runoff election, it was apparent that a bigger gale had been spawned by Agnos himself.

...logs sent there from a labor camp; their search is in vain, but another woman does spot her husband's initials and caresses them tenderly. Another memorable sequence shows the defendant's artist father, dressed only in a white loincloth, hanging by his wrists like the crucified Christ.

Prascak, Joseph Giani '89, director ofJesus Christ SuperstarandComedy of Errors,and others in the group say they will fill out the group during the next Common Casting, and that UGH will try to provide an outlet for directors and actors who want to work on "off-the-wall things," projects "that don't get put up in the houses." Sounds like what the Ex should...
