...Skin Of Our Teeth, as Stephen Nightingale directs it at Lowell House, carries off Wilder's con game with only a few pratfalls. The play is a loosely conceived Everyman telling the never-ending story of Mr. George Antrobus (Stuart Beck), his wife (Mary Belle Felten-stein), and two kids (John Sansone and Jody Adams).

...almost all the long postwar bull market, Funston has been the symbol and champion of the New York Stock Exchange's Corinthian-columned citadel, a man who helped change its image from that of a clubby, tricky place to that of a respectable and generally profitable market for everyman. After his announcement last week, a score of names were bruited about as possible successors; they ranged from Richard M. Nixon to Walter...
