Soll juxtaposes incongruous images, a waltz and an hours-long fall or love-making and a corpse-like pose. She warps time and space, creates endless moments and an unidentifiable yet distinct place--I felt as if I must have seen the dance sometime before. This ability to shade time and space with felt qualities is what's meant by an intuition for choreography...
Bradley has a certain talent for descriptive lists and characterization, but his experience hasn't supplied the vocabulary for his mature vision. Two distinct styles of writing fall out in this loose weave of narrative and analytic musing; one of sardonic realism and another of patriotic camp. On one page, he describes Willis Reed pondering "how a rabbit does it," and on the following, he sums up the 1973 championship with the old saw, "Vicariously experiencing the victory can't compare to being Number One." The maudlin cliches of the sports world are not geared toward the cynicism implicit...
...production of the original play Cabaret must labor in the shadow of the movie, even though play and film are structurally distinct. The subplots are completely different, the main plot varies in significant details, and, most important, the film version transplanted virtually all the music to the cabaret sequences, heightening the contrast between the escapism of the Kit Kat Klub and the painful drama outside.

As Brown-Beasley says, "lines are not so clearly drawn." The employees do not all view themselves as a distinct and subordinate class, toiling in tedium for an employer whose interests are not their own. The unpopularity of that view is demonstrated by the difficulty District 65, a clerical and technical workers' union, has had organizing in Cambridge. For the people who work on the third floor, the important distinctions...
Still, he says, "the thing we're caught in now, is very distinct pressure from two directions." On one hand, management is concerned that jobs should not get too boring, while at the same time it is worried about cutting costs and speeding things up. The machine, Gibson says, has helped on both counts. Joe Billy Wyatt, who as acting director of the Office for Information Technology is supervisor of roughly half the employees on the third floor, agrees that the machine has made work more interesting--taking what used to be a "production line" and consolidating...
