...literal reading of the text, which works against the burlesque and the surrealistic elements of the play. The quiet, subdued tone of this interpretation almost negates the theatricality of the play. The satirical intent of much of the dialogue becomes blunted, and the disparity between forms and their content lacks sharp delineation. The effect of the play, which should be clear and total, is only vague and diffuse...

...accomplish this feat of engineering almost by intuition; he gave the impression of looking down on those who mathematically calculated and recalculated stress.

New York's 90.5). Ambitious Rotterdam and its wily businessmen are not content with second place. They have launched a campaign to pass New York as the world's biggest port, are busily building a $250 million addition, called Europoort, that they expect will do the trick...
