...Come Back--When Law School Dean Robert C. Clark ordered Griswold Hall locked and secured Thursday--as students were staging a sit-in inside--police took their orders seriously. Very seriously. At one point, a security officer apparently became nervous that three protesters standing in an open doorway might let more in. So the stocky, trench-coat clad officer used his body to block off the door, and began pushing the students out. A shoving match ensued, and one woman law student ended up on the ground...
Skillful stage designs and clever direction enhance the production. Derek McLane's set, painted the green of The Captain's uniform, provides a fitting backdrop for the war of the sexes. Crossed swords over every doorway evoke the marital tension within, and in the second act, an oddly shaped drawing room suggests the Captain's growing emotional instability.

The fact that she was neither a participant in the movement nor a well-versed student of it did not prevent her, as it did not prevent her with Viet Nam, from having an intuitive sense of what was needed...
...land claimed by rubber tappers to cut an adjacent 300-acre plot. After Mendes and a group of 200 seringueiros peacefully turned back the rancher and 40 peons, death threats against him grew more frequent. In December he was killed with a shotgun as he stepped out of his doorway. Alves and two of his sons were convicted of the murder but have appealed the verdict...
