...accentuate the distinction between a humanized George III and his puppet-like court. While most actors are fittingly powdered, wigged and decked up in period costumes, the king is shown alternatively in a nightgown or a straightjacket, with hair awry. The image of the mad king is an obvious echo of King Lear; the analogy between the two scenarios being played up in this production.

On Sept. 21, a judge in York, Pa., granted the "withholding of removal" to a Chinese paranoid schizophrenic whose circumstances echo De Santiago's. He lost his residency as a result of a felony conviction. The judge found it likely that the 42-year-old man would suffer persecution in China, which advocates sterilization for the mentally ill, and agreed that the man had proved his membership in a "particular social group." A California judge issued a similar...

...away, two pianists playing the same chords in different registers, percussionists plugging away on maracas and castanets, a full symphony string section, and underneath it all the drums of Hal Blaine ("my five favorite drummers", according to Max Weinberg) piped through the galactic dimensions of the Gold Star Studios echo chamber...
