...Harvard protestors of October 25 any punishment which impedes their academic progress would be excessive. We do, however, support their position entirely and call for all universities, including Harvard and Wellesley, to heed the call to conscience which has generated these protests.

On the whole her lighting is less murky than one normally gets. And she rightly employs a warm, mellow glow only once--for Duncan's arrival at Inverness Castle. She makes some use of a follow-spot, but it is never obtrusive in musical-comedy fashion. Many of her effects would be impossible without the marvelous unit set designed by Rouben Ter-Arutunian--two converging cavernous walls of shiny but unsmooth silver, parts of which...
