...inattention to affairs, but they wonder how many want to hear it. Two months ago Reston noted "the remarkable gap between public opinion and inside-Washington opinion." Pulitzer Prizewinner Haynes Johnson of the Washington Post began one report: "So far, he's proving Lincoln was right. You can fool all of the people some of the time." The Post's David Broder discouragingly described "a nation that does not want to be bothered by anything that does not translate into immediate personal benefit." Broder in conversation ascribes this to a prospering economy and to "contentment with Reagan...
...credit, but he taught me." The following day, fortunes reversed, and against Bevacqua's home run, Gibson made two errors. Dusty Rhodes, Al Gionfriddo, Gene Tenace and the usual list of fateful World Series names was redrawn and then increased. Marty Castillo, whom Anderson describes as "the fool-around, funny guy" of the Tigers, homered with a man on base in the third game, during which 24 other runners were left. Promptly his life story was requested, starting with when he was five and accidentally burned down the house. "I've been a big mouth all my life...
...months, she tearfully relates, her time is spent "sleeping, eating, crying." Her disorder is apparently an exaggerated version of the brain's natural response to seasonal variations in sunlight. The treatment: placing her for two hours each day in front of a bank of fluorescent lights, which fool her brain's biological clock into thinking it is summer. The stories are sometimes uncomfortably graphic (a ten-year-old boy who suffers up to 60 epileptic seizures a day), but nearly always fascinating; The Brain is a distinguished addition to television's science library...
Such is the case with the above editorial, in which cogent and important insights metamorphose into bungled equivocations. The U.S. has spoken repeatedly with a forked tongue, deliberately misleading the American public with totally implausible proposals for arms cuts which fool no one abroad. Reagan has shown he has no intention of reducing the threat of nuclear war by deploying the Pershing II and cruise missiles despite repeated Soviet and European protests. The USSR has said for years it would walk out of Geneva if the new missiles were deployed, and they meant what they said. For some reason, this...
...ASPECT of King Lear which the Theater Works production presents most clearly is Lear's struggle to distinguish between wisdom and folly, reality and insanity. Although that achievement belongs primarily to McDonough's Lear, it owes almost as much to the agility of Kevin Keragga's Fool. The Fool acts as Lear's gadfly, confronting him with harsh truths, but his actions and speech are so thoroughly inconsistent that neither Lear, nor the audience ever completely comprehends him. Keraga does a brilliant job of balancing flamboyance and melancholy, credibility and recklessness. His manner and movements, as well as his recitation...
