...Says he: "In a mechanized environment a machine that is carefully designed to be useless echoes the whimper or many a cog: 'What's the use?" Perhaps Rickey's nonfunctional machines show that out of tiny cogs a mighty concept of harmonious motion may grow, giving art another dimension at which it traditionally could only hint...
First, Woyzeck, is cursed by some very bad acting. Paul Balmuth, the lead, has not much business being on the Loeb mainstage. His range of expressiveness is disastrously limited; his voice is pathetically inadequate; his mosquito-like dartings back and forth across the stage grow quite irritating after a while.

...like Mao, hoped that his nation's problems might be solved through a combined act of faith and will. They may admire Liu's desire to concentrate on the problems of the oppressed and unliberated peoples outside China. Yet a new Chairman Lin and the ageing Red Guards who grow up under him will for some time have to ignore that international concern while they confront the monstrous, and partially self-imposed, problems within their own borders...
