...fundamental failure of Chris Healey's production of The Pelican lies in its inability to immerse the audience in the mood and theme to the point where plot would become irrelevant and melodrama less of a hazard. Unhappily, the visual and aural effects through which Strindberg intended to achieve this are unsuccessful. Admittedly, conditions in the Ex don't make things any easier. The not-so-mysterious rocking chair rocks frantically and becomes at first funny, then ridiculous; a letter leaps, rather than flutters, off a table; vitally important silences and pauses are mercilessly trampled over.

...time a customer paid $4 for a small glass nut dish, then announced triumphantly that it was made by Steuben. Another customer returned to gloat that her 50? string of pearls had been resold for $50. Veterans of thrift shops generally agree that there is only one major hazard of secondhand shopping.

In Donetsk, many of the illegal transmitters were on the frequency of the railway switching station of this important industrial center. On the inland Sea of Azov, riverboat skippers complain that they cannot hear routing orders because of interference by Elvis Presley tapes. Judged even more hazardous, however, were...

Though industry opposition is expected, a state-sponsored study strongly suggests that most Californians-and probably most other Americans as well-are ready to accept curbs on the throw-away habit that blights the land...
...three years ago. But he takes in coke, pot and wine as naturally as most people breathe. He is also a clothes junkie, and whenever he is flush after a few muggings, the money goes in an endless effort to look "fly." Platform shoes are a hazard to his trade, since fast getaways are critical, but he wears them even when mugging because "they are the style...
