...Familiar Terrain. "It's an old-hat drama," Playwright Otto Jefferson Gibson says diffidently. In an eerily contemporary sense, he is right. In Later, Jason the generation gap between father and son is aggravated by the son's serious involvement with drugs. The son cannot pay the pusher who supplies him. Finally the son murders the pusher and is sentenced to life in prison. Jason's terrain is familiar; what is special about the play is that it is hardly an academic exercise. In this case, art imitates life with unsettling directness. At times the actors move...
...Brandeis' John Roche. Rostow said that the Pentagon researchers had exercised a "most egregious extraction out of context" of his "hundreds of memos on Southeast Asia." Newspapers, he contended, had further distorted the perspective. "If a student here at Texas were to turn in a term paper where the gap between data and conclusions was as wide as that between the Pentagon study and the newspaper stories, he would expect to be flunked."

...their closest, England and France are a scant 18 miles apart. But the emotional gap is virtually infinite. Take, for example, the reliable litmus of crime. As two new films demonstrate, the accounts of evildoer and pursuant vary enormously with the turf. The favored French mode is the grittily realistic roman policier, in which the detective, like Simenon's Inspector Maigret, is presumed human, hence flawed. In England both criminal and captor implicitly play the gentlemanly hare-and-hounds game-a legacy of what W.H. Auden called the "guilty vicarage" tradition...
