Unfortunately, Porter's works, especially the less famous ones, are rarely performed in Boston. So the Charles Playhouse's current production of The Decline and Fall of the Entire World as Seen Through the Eyes of Cole Porter is particularly welcome, both as a sure-fire cure for a case of the mid-summer blues and as a tribute to the grand master of American song...
Flying from state capital to state cap ital, the savvy, disarming Schlafly matches the feminists' rhetoric phrase for phrase. She bluntly proclaims that "all sensible people are against ERA," and dismisses the liberationists as "a bunch of bitter women seeking a constitutional cure for their personal problems." In many of her speeches, she continues to insist that "women find their greatest fulfillment at home with their family...

No one is safe from Sorel: he skewers Arabs and Zionists, harpoons Cardinal Cooke and Billy Graham, lampoons the Jerry Lewis telethon: "Maybe some day science will find a cure for Multiple No-Talent." Sorel's style is best when it reveals the foibles of its subject graphically: Gloria Steinem as a knight in tarnished amour, Scoop Jackson as a sheriff with a beltful of missiles, Woody Allen as Satan. His critiques of the Watergaters lean too heavily...
