...white glass, white metal panels, white steel, white stone, concrete and red stone? Because to pull off such an improbable collage is a virtuoso feat -- Eisenman is like a chess master playing several games at once while standing on his head. Because the dense, dense eclecticism of material and form prevents the place from seeming too slick and self-serious. And - because Eisenman remains rather perverse. The four painting and sculpture galleries, for instance, amorphous and oddly shaped, could tend to confound picture hanging. "I don't want to say they're not problematic," admits Robert Stearns, the Wexner Center...

Thus East Germany probably can be added, along with Poland and Hungary, to the list of East European states that are trying to abandon orthodox Communism for some as-yet-nebulous form of social democracy. The next to be engulfed by the tides of change appears to be Bulgaria; Todor Zhivkov, 78, its longtime, hard-line boss, unexpectedly resigned at week's end. Outlining the urgent need for "restructuring," his successor, Petar Mladenov, said, "This implies complex and far from foreseeable processes. But there is no alternative." In all of what used to be called the Soviet bloc, Zhivkov...

...first the play, written by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee, seems a little fragmented, and Thoreau (Josh Frost) ditsy rather than wise. But in the course of the performance, the play takes form. Lawrence and Lee use a series of flashbacks explaining Thoreau's civil disobedience and his getting out of jail, as well as a dream sequence involving the Mexican war. Also, various characters, such as Emerson and Thoreau's mother, appear to say things from the past, as voices from Thoreau's memory...

...surrealism works to build the play's image of Thoreau, by organizing the play according to his character and not strictly to historical events. By the end of the play, all the fragments have weaved themselves together to form a coherent picture of a Thoreau who seems wise and who has learned that he cannot divorce himself from the world...
