...WHISTLE IN THE DARK is Thomas Murphy's drama of a brutish Irishman and his four sons who move in on a fifth son who has tried to flee their world of tooth and claw by moving to England. The play is full of the rude poetry of the commonplace, stating truths about human nature that one would often rather forget...

To be sure, there are some signs of disquiet. Some 1,135 East Germans last year managed to flee over the wall to the West. At one point during last week's celebrations, 200 restless young East Berliners paraded down Unter den Linden chanting: "Eins, zwei, drei, Sex!" But they knew better than to shout anything more defiant-such as demands for political reforms. Culturally, Ulbricht maintains such...
