...Slave is essentially a kind of Greenwich Villagey talkfest. War has broken out between Negroes and whites, and with the sound of machine-gun and artillery fire in the near distance, a Negro military leader (Al Freeman Jr.) revisits his former white wife, who is now married to a white history professor. Ostensibly, he has come to see his two daughters, possibly to kill them, but mostly to gloat and watch the whites cringe before his oft-waved pistol. At one point, the professor asks if there will be more love or beauty or knowledge in the world after...

Everything overlaps and the play has diversity without direction. It endlessly circles its own conversation...

But when this maneuver failed, the dissidents sought to spread the rebellion. In September, Blair convoked a secret meeting at a steakhouse outside Greenwich, Conn., where he lives, and helped frame a bill of particulars against the Culligan management. On Oct. 1 this document, signed by Blair, Kantor and 13 top-ranking editors and advertising officials, was sent to Curtis' board. The letter not only accused Culligan of mismanagement, but served notice...
