The Coast Guard protects the Alaskan fishing industry from constantly marauding Japanese, Russian and South Korean fishermen. As if to symbolize Washington's dominance, the Federal Building in Juneau is a huge glass-and-steel cube that literally overshadows the rambling old stone statehouse...
...drunk, the mother's tender loving care melts in your mouth, and young love triumphs over nastiness, brutality, and even, God forbid, prostitution. It is O'Neill's salute to the Catholic morality in which he was raised, but that morality has all the abiding qualities of an ice cube in August. And the editing in this production only keeps any virtue that is in the text of the play itself from surfacing...

From the back and sides, the girl is whole and clothed, but the dummy is cut out in front to reveal her in successively diminishing images, one within the other. In the last and smallest, she is completely nude. New Yorker Lyn Wells has made a life-size portrait of a neighbor by printing back and front views on sensitized linen, sewing...
