...absolute maximum: six months in jail, twelve months in the county work camp, and a $1,000 fine. Hipped on Race. To her amazement, and Pye's ire, Defendant Hall escaped. Armed with a writ of habeas corpus, U.S. marshals whisked her out of her cell and freed her on $1,000 bond. "The United States Government has taken said defendant away," roared Judge Pye.

When this occurs, as in the case of a tool becoming a ceremonial object (for example, the ax becoming a mace), form is divorced from function, and thus freed to develop on the laws and principles called esthetics...

He keeps his face almost expressionless through most of the production, and reads his lines with all the restraint possible. He still can't tone the speeches down quite enough; there is simply too much noise and it tires the listener after awhile. But except in his utterly unconvincing expressions of love for Zenocrate during the first act, Stone's vocal...
