...self-enclosed world, described by Talese with popeyed wonder. The author found another answer in the "permissive paradise" of Sandstone, a 15-acre retreat near Los Angeles that flourished in the '70s on a diet of communal nudity and sex. The Sandstone philosophy was not, Talese insists, a clever license for men but a liberation for both sexes: "A sexually adventurous woman could experience, if her mind were willing, her body's capacity to exhaust in a single evening the best efforts of a succession of lusty Lotharios...
...Raymond interpolate dance and mime into the story to indicate the tensions beneath the Renaissance rhetoric. A veil hangs at the back of the stage, behind which a "Duchess of Imagination" flirts while the real Duchess in front disclaims interest in men. This division of the play, though clever, imposes severe restrictions on the actors. Shiels and Raymond allow neither the dancing behind the veil nor the acting in front of it to be subtle. The dancing is blatantly sexual and the acting deliberately one-dimensional...
...strain of his midwifery; to give birth to a new era is hard work indeed. The wonder is that anyone agreed to publish this diary of Toffler's nighttime fears and Newsweek clippings. But there is an explanation. A decade ago, Alvin Toffler wrote a book with a clever computer-letters cover called Future Shock.

...walk. Audiences have always found it hard to sympathize with his duplicity in leading on a lovable rogue like Falstaff, and the actor who plays him must make his deviousness seem right as well as log ical. To preserve his life and his position he must be more clever than other men: he is the son of a regicide and knows that the throne he will inherit has been made slippery by blood. "Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown," cries his father. David Gwillim adroitly captures all Hal's contradictions; then, like a master potter, he molds...
...both at Indiana University. In the introduction to a collection of reports and essays on primate language experiments to be published this month under the title Speaking of Apes (Plenum: $37,50), they maintain that much of what passes for language skill in apes can be explained by the "Clever Hans effect"-a phenomenon named for a turn-of-the-century German circus horse that astounded audiences by tapping out with his hoofs the correct answers to complex mathematical and verbal problems. In fact, as a German psychologist finally discerned, Clever Hans was picking up unintentional cues-changes in facial...
