Puerto Rican terrorism tends to be a family enterprise. Cells often contain cousins, brothers, husbands and wives. José, raised in Manhattan's Spanish Harlem, was deeply influenced by an uncle ("A man I would die for") who was active in the independence movement. After a street-corner childhood and a Navy tour that ended with a jail sentence, José developed a "total lack of respect" for the U.S. and migrated to Puerto Rico...
...disregards to the composer; he simply hears phrases, colors and rhythms that nobody else hears. The result is that when he conducts, his soloist's gift for subtlety sometimes deserts him. In Vienna two years ago, he gave a radically nontraditional performance of that proud Viennese national resource, Die Fledermaus. It was almost predictable that a Russian might fail to exploit the sassy, lighthearted flavor of the classic, and sure enough, Rostropovich's overloaded Bat crashlanded into a nest of snapping critics, who almost declared war on the Soviet Union.

The return in lowered fertility and healthier children and more equitably served families is clearly worth the effort. Malnourished mothers give birth to weak and unhealthy infants, and have problems nursing them. Such infants often die, and this leads to frequent pregnancies, which in turn diminish their occupational and economic status. This makes sons more desirable than daughters, and when only daughters are born, another pregnancy must ensue in order to try again...

This problem takes a particularly acute form at the Loeb's Mainstage Theater, a beautifully appointed but somewhat cavernous theater in which many well-intended but poorly produced shows die agonizing deaths each year. For all its visual appeal (and Mainstage shows generally feature excellent sets), a play devoid of energy simply does not work there. So it is particularly heartening to find a season-opening production that is remarkable in many ways, but for nothing so much...
