...gilding tank, echoing Biff in Death of a Salesman, "I just can't take hold of some kind of life." But he adds something more. At one point, he brings the bar owner, the only character with roots to his "confessional." The bar owner says that he is content running a small place with a steady profit and with hearing the confessions of his regulars, but he ends his speech with a quiet despair disguised as complacency: "I'll die in the night and I hope it don't wake me up, that I just slip away, quietly."

...conception, these tutorials would be historically and methodologically oriented. Most would be directed by departmental teaching fellows, and where expedient they might be affiliated with particular Houses without restricting enrollment to House members. Material covered in these tutorials should be determined by the departments themselves. Some discretion in content and a great deal of initiative in approach should be granted to the individual teaching fellow.

Let's leave things as they are." The way things are, however, is vacuous and inane, shot through with hypocrisy and hatred. The movement in the play from banal dialogue interspersed only by a few absurdities, (Mrs. Smith tells...
...Vanzetti deserved so much better. Anyone who reads the transcript of the trial cannot fail to be struck by the purity of motive (particularly in the case of Vanzetti) that inspired their anarchist belief. If Montaldo had been less carried away by his own enthusiasms, if he had been content to let the critical moments (Vanzetti's last speech at the trial, the execution sequence) stand by themselves, the film would have succeeded, if only on the strength of the appeal of the historical characters themselves...
