First for the ladies of the company, each one a pleasure to the eye and ear. As Polly, Catherine Winn makes her debut in Harvard drama, and she is a welcome addition. She possesses that rare combination of first-rate acting ability and a beautiful lyric soprano, and she knows how to balance the two. Her sweet, artless Polly could soften even the hardest highwayman's heart, and we easily understand Macheath's impetuous marriage vows...
They tune in to watch The Man from U.N.C.L.E. ("such good evil," says a North Carolina viewer), The Rogues ("the best flick on the eye"), The Fugitive ("Fuge" to friends), Shindig or Hullabaloo ("the horny hours"), and horror shows (called "ghoul spools" at Harvard to distinguish them from wild parties).

Another stunning pile-up is followed by regularly scheduled derailments, all studied with a fond eye for the mechanics of sabotage. At last, face to face beside a clutter of wooden crates and human bodies, the two foes meet in what is clearly intended as a moment of supreme dramatic irony. But The Train never achieves irony. It is too busy brandishing its iron...
