There is an ironic contrast between the concern officials profess for the flexibility of a given room or House, and the relative inflexibility of their own policies on accommodating students--and it is this very rigidity which may be taking the heaviest toll on the House spirit they hold so dear...
...Tony Coelho, chairman of the House Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, compared Ferraro to the most successful politician in the U.S. today: "She handled it exactly like Ronald Reagan. Like him, she showed tremendous inner peace." Democratic strategists, jubilant over her performance, intend to encourage Ferraro to take on the heaviest campaign schedule she can manage.

His uncanny sense of modern body language brilliantly matches Rabe's sensitivity to verbal gestures. Everyone involved in Hurlyburly (including all its designers) have stared hard, long and with compassionate intelligence into the face of contemporary banality, and found ways of transcending it without falsifying. Theirs is an important work, masterly accomplished...
