...most difficult task; the play positions Mary as a perpetual victim. At her best, Gibson achieves a bitter strenth, exposing the emptiness and self-indulgence of Bysshe's idealism. She is least successful when she allows Mary's helpless anger to deteriorate into petulent whining. Her complaints about "the endless, hopeless schemes and dreams" are rendered pathetic rather than biting...

What has happened since is a startling reversal of fortune. IBM is being ravaged by the worst crisis in the company's 79-year history. It is undergoing its fifth restructuring in the past seven years as well as seemingly endless rounds of job cuts and firings that have eliminated 100,000 jobs since 1985. Last week IBM announced to its shell-shocked investors that it lost $4.97 billion last year -- the biggest loss in American corporate history...

...working parents trying to do right by their children, and to have little for Zoe Baird.

This leads to what might be called the first law of environmental decline: the long-term health of an ecosystem recedes in importance when people are fighting over access to specific resources for their short-term economic interests. This is hardly surprising in a country that cannot...

Margaret Gibson's version of Hesione Hushabye, Shotover's daughter, would be perfectly charming if the viewer only had to bear her company for 15 minutes or so. She makes a delightful first impression, with her endless charm and sinuous steps. Unfortunately, Gibson's method of delivering Hesione's absurd pieces of babytalk--such as "prettikins" and "daddyest"--is horribly artificial, and her languorous speech and movements seem too derivative of Morticia Addams...
