Perhaps Kirk did not expect such a gory display, and it is assumed he is not happy about it. But he should have realized that a middle-of-the-night invasion by police who tend to react quickly to student resistance could easily explode. David B. Truman, university vice-president, had conceded that the buildings could not be retaken "without some roughing up." Kirk and Truman's miscalculation has so discredited the administration on the campus that by 11 p.m. last night, 8500 students had signed a petition asking for Kirk's ouster...
While the accomplishments of the Columbia protest might not have been possible without the conspicuous seizure of an administration building, the demonstration gradually has disintegrated into a piece of civil disobedience in bad faith.

Aria da Capo (literal translation: song from the top of the head.) by Edna St. Vincent Millary trifles elegantly around the theme of deceit--and so succeeds in shocking. Peopled by the likes of the menacing Colthurnus (David Palmer) the phantom prompter of the play-within-the-play and the stock, intuitively and irrepressibly daft Pierrot and Columbine figures, played by Jeffrey Blum and Lorraine James, of the play-without-the-play, the production seemed to slow down irreparably midway through. But Dean Ahmed, directing, manages to frame an unexpected climax to end the play on a note of crotchety...
