There's also some weird Christian symbolism. Th' identities of th' son n' th' father merge. Dad's name is Weston (Western?); Junior's is Wesley. In th' third n' final act, Dad talks about feelin' "reborn," like it was "Christmas," n' he baptizes himself in a tub of cold water. Junior does th' same, puts on Dad's clothes, n' Mom confuses him for his father. Junior also goes out n' slaughters a lamb n' practically washes himself in lamb's blood. Beats me what all this Christian symbolism is doin' in a play whose characters are as poor...
...performed children's folk songs for the Fourth of July weekend, and last week Professor Bubble demonstrated the miracles of surface tension. Next Sunday, the Sea Chanty Singers and Storytellers from the Mystic Seaport Museum in Connecticut will tell children about the New England ocean life, and for its final weekend, Summer Splash will host a beach party complete with 70 tons of imported sand...
...sign of the intense popular interest in the conference came with the publication of its six final resolutions in Pravda, which caused a run on copies of the party daily in Moscow.

Lipsig takes his cases on a contingency-fee basis, meaning that he collects only if he wins. In that event, he typically garners a third of the final award, which can run into the millions. He claims to win 95% of his cases, a figure that is all the more impressive in view of his reputation for taking "impossible" cases. His trick is to combine meticulous research with show-biz instincts. In the 1940s he sued the concessionaire in a New York stadium on behalf of a man hit by a soda bottle thrown from the stands. The vendor argued...
...head of the Church of England, Archbishop of Canterbury Robert Runcie, affirmed his theological acceptance of women priests but opposed the legislation because of the lack of consensus. The bill passed by only 58%, whereas two-thirds of bishops, clergy and laity (voting separately) will be required for final approval in 1992 or 1993. The bickering over women will find an even more prominent forum next week when bishops of the Episcopal Church, the Church of England and all other branches of Anglicanism gather in England for their once-a-decade Lambeth Conference...
