...high, two-ton bronze relief depicting Catholicism's seven corporal works of mercy. One scene, for example, showed Pope John XXIII on his visit to Rome's Regina Coeli prison in 1958; Greco's presentation of burying the dead uses angled limbs and tortured faces to convey a strong sense of grief...
...forms Senelick has chosen to convey ritual are highly derivative: he has borrowed Oriental Kabuki gestures for Oedipus and locasta, and this works very well, stylizing their "act" of semi-divinity almost to satire.

One was Mr. MacEwen, who apparently prefers to convey his opinions of the Center in an atmosphere of confrontation and turmoil. I think that Mr. MacEwen, one of the leaders at the recent demonstration and at the same time research associate at the Center, could have given the benefit of the doubt to a group of people who for him should at least h?? the merit of being financially independent of the Center's resources...
