...droop, and grading habits relax. Try to get on the bottom of the pile.) Again it is not that A.E.'s are vicious or ludicrous as such; but in quantity they become sheer madness. Or induce it. "The 20th Century has never recovered from the effect of Marx or Freud." (V.G.); "but whether this a good thing or a bad thing is difficult to say." (A.E.) Now one might be droll enough. But by the dozen? This the quantitative aspect of grading--we are, after all, getting five dollars a head for you dolts and therefore pile up as many...

...performance since; it still touches off the same responses. To American eyes, the Czechs give Albee's Westchester an oddly Viennese aspect; the impression is compounded of walnut-and-fringed-lamps Gemütlichkeit and the beard of the leading actor, which makes him look exactly like Sigmund Freud.
