Alfred, who currently teaches three undergraduate English courses, yesterday downplayed the distinction, saying he had at first asked the magazine not to include him in the article. He said he thought the recognition was probably due to his authorship of the popular play Hogan's Goat...
...more sinister sectarian rituals are still strong, some of the other traditions of fanatic Orangeism are dying out. One of the true traditions of the Orange parade, the lambeg drum--weighing about 40 pounds and fabricated from oak, ash and goatskin (only the skin of the she-goat will do)--is just about extinct. A lambeg drummer used canes instead of drumsticks and during the course of a single parade, he'd break more than ten of them. That's because the drummer hits the drum as hard as he can.

The music races toward oblivion rather than anyone's ears. Rouben Ter-Arutunian's majestic scenery features a columned, rotunda-like set with a cascade of steps. This forces Onna White to choreograph dances in which the chorus troops trippingly, and repeatedly, up and down...
