Clearly, this boy had had his expectation cycle quickened by years of following New Trier High School games, and could not bring his accelerated expectations into focus with a new reality. With plenty of care and a season ticket to this year's Boston Patriot home games, Raver was given a new lease on life.

...Honey falls short is where its method falls short-in a lack of intensifi cation and fusion. The play is episodic, without all the episodes being equally good; it is for the most part closeups, without all the characters being equally real (the mother is not always seen in focus and is played by Angela Lansbury too much for farce).

It may never be used for practical microfilming. It is too hard to focus, and it must be shielded from even faint vibration by enclosing it and the object to be photographed in a heavy metal cylinder suspended by springs. If a stray speck of dust wanders onto the film it might blot out half a book...
