...mean to be hard on Mrozek. Most of my criticisms deal with problems that are bothersome in print, and I suspect that they may disappear or at least diminish on stage. If I were to point out a single damning fault, it would be that the situations are not open-ended enough. Once we learn the circumstances, we know everything. There is character revelation, but no character development. Curiously enough, this means that the endings themselves are too open--that is, the plays tend to trail off rather than ending definitively. When Mrozek does try to create a real ending...
...Then, says Craig Beek, head of Iowa's Bureau of Criminal Investigation, "Zippo, like a flash, they'll take your walnut trees too." Another ploy is to approach the landowner and ask to buy the trees, promising payment when they are sold to mills. The cutters then disappear with the logs, and the farmer never sees them again...

Rosenthai, managing editor of the New York Times, were among those arguing for absolute protection of confidential sources and unpublished material.

The erosion of confidentiality will mean the end of the exposure of corruption as far as the press is concerned...
...natural defenses into fighting cancer. In Mrs. Brown's case, doctors deliberately exposed her to attenuated tuberculosis bacilli, figuring that if they could make her body resist them, it might resist the cancer as well. The strategy worked. Shortly after treatment began, her lesions began to shrink and disappear. Today Mrs. Brown has only a few lumps on her chest. None of her doctors will say that she is cured, but all agree that without immunotherapy she probably would not be alive today...
