...that's because he always wanted to be a movie star." The Who blitzkrieg of North America will open on schedule, Nov. 20 in Houston, and presumably intramural tensions can be vented onstage. After all, the group first became famous for smashing guitars, trashing amplifiers and wreaking havoc for the edification of its audience. In any case, Daltrey says, "we go our separate ways but always come back when the time is right...
...drenched days of Empire, some believed that Carlyle's prophecy had come true. But today Britain is still bedeviled, and the captains and the work-hosts have been fighting each other instead of chaos. Indeed, the conflict of power between workers and employers has produced such widespread havoc in recent years that it has come close to destroying Britain's future as an industrial nation.

Although eighty per cent of the country was rural at the time of the 1917 revolution, those battered faces in Eisenstein's cities...
...David Rabe's Sticks and Bones has usually been considered the best of it, with other works like Medal of Honor Rag being placed by critics "in the tradition of Sticks and Bones." The play is about the psychic warping of a blind Vietnam veteran and the havoc he creates back home with his family. In Joseph Papp's original Public Theater version a few years ago the play had a hypnotically entrancing effect, but there really isn't that much analysis to it. It's a play about Vietnam as a pretext and not an event. That's okay...
