...felt it was important to put forth a position not stated by [New York Archbishop John J. O'Connor and Law," says Eilleen M. Kelly of the Washington based Catholics for a Free Choice, adding, "Priests, religious leaders, and legislators should not be penalized by there religious superiors for publicly dissenting...
...HEART OF the show, as everyone knows, is the glorious era of RKO and MGM musicals. Ray Bolger does the boasting for all the luminaries present: Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Cyd Charisse, Eleanor Powell, Donald O'Connor, Judy Garland. Among the MGM treats is Gene Kelly's original dance with Carol Haney, whose figure was later replaced by a cartoon figure for the animated classic Invitation to Dance. Kelly dances with garbage-can lids on his feet in It's Always Fair Weather and Donald O'Connor helps him make a shambles of a linguist's office...
...these the Cleavers or the Bunkers, this family of four preparing for an ordinary Thanksgiving in 1973? There's Dad (Carroll O'Connor), screwing himself into his easy chair, deflecting harsh words and harder responsibilities. Mom (Frances Sternhagen) is patrolling the house in her robe and bunny snood, calling "Wakey uppy! Wakey uppy!" in the tinny cascades of Texas motherhood.

Home Front was first staged last June in London, starring Sternhagen and under the direction of Michael Attenborough.

But Home Front is Sternhagen's show, allowing her to nail down, with an increasingly desperate comic urgency, the suburban matriarch. This mom will not be accused of screaming at her children: "I was using...
...charity and compassion. Mr. Gooen should visit the number of pro-life clinics here in the Boston area, such as Daybreak, or at St. Elizabeth's Hospital, to see the compassion that is offered to women undergoing the pain of an unwanted pregnancy. His insulting reference to Archibishop O'Connor of New York as "arrogant" is completely uncalled for. I would only hope that this nation could be as "arrogant" in the defense of innocent life as the Archbishop...
