RIGHT YOU ARE. Luigi Pirandello is the philosopher king of 20th century playwrights, an existentialist before Sartre and Camus, an absurdist before Beckett and lonesco. Though written in 1918, this intellectual whodunit has scarcely a grey line in its script, and the APA troupe has faithfully obeyed the playwright's commandment: "To convert the intellect into passion...
...difficult for me to envisage any kind of melting pot. As far as I know, in a melting pot all colors turn out grey. I see the American ethnic groups as a huge symphony orchestra in which each instrument retains its own characteristics, makes its particular contribution and, together with the other instruments, creates a wonderful or a terrible sound.

...Gromyko, hunting in what was once the preserve of royalty. For the occasion, Kosygin had brought along a turtleneck sweater, a quilted jacket and his own Belgian-made Herstal over-and-under shotgun.

Though he thought "the whole prospect of the Atlantic so appalling that I can't face it," he nonetheless thrilled to "the moan of the wind in the rigging," loved drawing "deep, mad breaths...
...Dismissal" differs from expungement only in that the student's name may remain in some obscure file or writ large on some grey wall of athletic heroes. Passed by a vote of the Faculty, a student who has been dismissed will not be allowed to return to Harvard except by a vote of the Faculty. Since 1952 there have only been four or five dismissals--none of them has been seen on campus since...
