...Palmer) the phantom prompter of the play-within-the-play and the stock, intuitively and irrepressibly daft Pierrot and Columbine figures, played by Jeffrey Blum and Lorraine James, of the play-without-the-play, the production seemed to slow down irreparably midway through. But Dean Ahmed, directing, manages to frame an unexpected climax to end the play on a note of crotchety sarcasm. The vivid costumes and masks were designed by Ellie Meglio...
...away, and the broad stone steps that were once in his backyard are now on the beach below. On the New Jersey shore, the sea has slowly devoured 50 square blocks of the town of Cape May Point, and St. Peter's by the Sea Episcopal Church, a frame structure which has already been moved three times, now has the sea only 50 ft. from its doorstep. Parts of North Carolina's storm-crossed Outer Banks are dissolving into the Atlantic at the rate of 15 ft. a year. There is literally no beach left in parts...

His technique isn't heavy-handed in the familiar style of the wide-angle N.Y. Times Magazine advertisement. It is subtle, but clear...
...book reviewing are areas on which John Kenneth Galbraith has imposed his imperious rationality (TIME cover, Feb. 16). The Triumph, his first novel, is one of his less successful impositions. Strictly speaking, it is not a novel at all; it is an awkward attempt to put a fictional frame around a critique of U.S. foreign policy, which Galbraith feels is based on an indiscriminate fear of Communism. His characters are hardly more than clothespins colored to represent bureaucratic types. His locale is Puerto Santos, a banana republic where a moderate liberal ousts an overripe dictator. This causes a Washington minicrisis...
