...signers of the Declaration of Independence, together with the sometimes abrasive, sometimes soporific deliberations of the Second Continental Congress. With a practically nonexistent musical score, the show brings the heroic, tempestuous birth of a nation down to a feeble vaudevillian jape. One need pay no heed to the fact that it won a Tony award, but some playgoers apparently still...
...imaginations hadn't been castrated by eleventh grade health teachers, Garbo clothed and smoking a cigarette would be enough to turn us on. In fact eroticism in art derives as much from what is suggested as what is shown--those of us old enough to appreciate eroticism have already found out by hook and crook what everything looks like and don't need very much of it unbared on the screen to heighten the impact...

More crucial is the fact that funds are necessary to hire another coach or two to help Munro. It is simply impossible for one coach to handle a team of almost 30 players during practice. Two volunteers with considerable ability came down when they could to help, but there is no money to send them with...

...poor sell-outs don't cherish growing up absurd. In fact they're quite defensive about it, so much so that they cannot allow themselves to see alternatives other than the one they have taken. How else can they justify themselves--after all the social conscience doesn't pack up her bags in a huff and leave. Like God of Christian fable she waits and knocks insistently, perhaps pathetically, at the door after she's been thrown...
