Finally, in the best and the only bona fide play of the evening. "The Werewolf" by Sheldon Feldner, an assistant professor of drama at Emerson College, the Polinskys get around to a real exercise in theatrics. Steve is a rather tiresomely portrayed, holier than thou priest. Joel is an invading crazy, convinced that he's a werewolf and on the verge of committing suicide.

The only real...
...Open Tennis Championships at Forest Hills, N.Y. If he sounded like a carny barker trying to hypo the gate, it was understandable.

...they argued uncertainly about the answer?until the Resurrection. In the nearly 2,000 years since, conflicting answers about the nature of Jesus have never stopped coming in. In the past century alone, some 60,000 books have sought to explain Christ. In one of the latest, Journalist William Emerson Jr. complains that in different centuries and cultures people have always concocted "the sort of Jesus they could live with." He then goes on to create a gee-whizzy, headline-seeking Christ who traveled the revival circuit...
...bowls of red apples-a small, folksy offering for all visitors. The unpretentiousness of Burnett's work may have provoked the scorn of some young admen, yet many in the agency field contend that his influence was a major force for reasonableness in advertising.
