Disturbed last month by the specter of an oil refinery proposed for Searsport, Me., not far from his beloved summer home on Bear Island, Buckminster Fuller, 75, fired off a protesting telegram to Maine Senator Edmund S. Muskie. The basic message could have been put in 21 words: URGE YOU BLOCK THIS AND ALL OTHER REFINERY PROJECTS ON MAINE'S COAST. ALTERNATE ENERGY SOURCES ARE AVAILABLE. CALL ME FOR DETAILS. But Bucky Fuller-author, architect, inventor, philosopher -operates on a grand scale. He turned to free verse, and the orotund result almost filled the entire Op-Ed page...
...become more rational and confident-but instead they become more and more dependent on other people to decide what is right for them. Over seven years of writing Holt slowly became aware of more complexities of the oppression in schools. Each successive book since 1964 has been a fuller and more powerful statement...

Geralyn Williams as Putana, Annabella's buxom attendant, is a parody, in every stagy sense of the term, of the ribald nurse. Maeve Kinkead as Hippolita-the sex-starved Wronged Woman of the piece-storms around like a steam engine out of control until releasing the last painful gasps of her already overstrained voice on a mobile platform which...
