...Sara Midda celebrates the English garden in delicate watercolors. In and Out of the Garden (Workman; 128 pages; $14.95) will give snowbound nature lovers and backyard farmers cause to revel in vividly rendered pears, potatoes and peas. Tendrils of painstakingly crafted calligraphy-herbal aphorisms from Solomon to Poet John Clare-curl through tiny landscapes. There are also illustrated guides to flowers, fragrances and remedies offered by the bewhiskered farmers and thick-waisted matrons who tend these jewel-like plots. As for the predatory animals, like a good gardener, Midda has banished them from the greenery...
...Clare Martin, a petite freshman who co-manages the freshman football team, answers the question a different--and more graphic way. "I was at this party once, when this guy started bothering me. All of a sudden three freshman football players came over, and the guy left." Martin adds, "I feel like I've got 82 big brothers...

August, the Williams persona (Craig Smith), lives in a shack on the dunes, writing his first major play and trying to entangle Kip, a dancer and Nijinsky look-alike (Elton Cormier), in his grimy bedsheets. But both Kip and Clare (Dominique Cieri), who acts as his protector, are doomed, he by a brain tumor, she by diabetes. The entire work is shadowed by death, which is approaching as quickly as the fall. Both characters seem so tentative, however, that it is even hard to imagine that the end, when it occurs, will matter much to them or anyone else...
There are sparks from the Williams fire here and there; even when he is not in best form, Williams is never uninteresting. "How long are you going to go on working?" Clare asks August-Tennessee. "Until I die of exhaustion," he answers. Williams, 70, may be somewhat tired, but like Sophocles, who wrote his last play when he was nearly 90, he continues, on and on.- By Gerald Clarke
