Impossible as it would be to come up with figures on the number of frustrated playwrights at Harvard who've written works that have never been read, much less produced, buried away amongst their old term papers, such people do exist. In a drawer in the HDC office there is a pile of two dozen scripts, many written by Harvard and Radcliffe students, aching to be read and produced. And a fair number of Hasty Pudding scripts--all of them original--are rejected every year. The Premiere Society has already received manuscripts to consider for future productions. All that...
Moral Struggles. This scheme is as wild as any ever manufactured by a Victorian theatrical melodramatist and if Chabrol's plot reminds us of antique theatrical forms, so do his characters.

This liberation did once exist: workers--for example, in the middle and late nineteenth century--could accumulate some money, and hope to purchase and farm land in the open frontier of the Midwest and West. American workers were confronted with the same brutal present as workers in every Western country--and lately, many Third World Countries--have been faced with. The critical difference is that other nations' workers saw no real hope for escape in recovering the past: for them, present-day reality could only be challenged by a belief in a glorious future free from capitalism. Socialism, anarcho-syndicalism...
