...heavy army-green overcoats, Borg and dancers Nancy Compton and Kat Fischer enter and traverse the dimly-lit space, establishing characters through their idiosyncratic gaits: Compton inches forward, Borg sneaks backwards, and Fischer steals sideways. They turn sharply and skulk towards the audience--sputtering, chortling, swallowing shrill screams -- then disappear into the wings. The three return, this time with overcoats hunched up over their heads, and pick up the stealthy tempo. As music by Paul Sparrow sounds, their overcoats float up into space, swaying as if alive: objects animated by creatures...

A world threatened by starvation and widening economic imbalance between nations must have development, not stagnation, of industrial and natural resources. Moreover, in an economically shrinking world without growth, political freedom would almost certainly disappear, giving way to regimes that ration not only goods but people's lives...

The Family says it knows nothing about the missing youths. Leader of the parents is Scranton Salesman Donald Fetterolf, whose 17-year-old son Eric left home last Aug. 21 and is still missing. The latest to disappear is David Harris, 15, of nearby Tunkhannock, whose mother thinks that he joined...
