...thought of knitting as a way to hold their interest. To make it both more fun and easier, she provided them with whittled-down broomsticks. The children loved them. Sure that she was on to a good idea, she convinced New York's Reynolds Yarns Co. To make hollow inch-wide needles of aluminum. When it turned out that the new needles made it easy to blend up to six yarns at once, she had no trouble in persuading Reynolds to produce "Jumbo Jets" commercially...
...racked up worldwide sales of 70 million. But Wham-O Manufacturing Corp., which started the first craze, had a hunch that hoops were good for another twirl. The novelty that was needed was noise. So Wham-O put half-a-dozen ¼-in.-diameter ball bearings inside each hollow hoop to give it a whirry sound, brightened the plastic colors, and called it the New Shoop Shoop Hula Hoop.

Everingham stands the characters in close confrontation: Raskolnikov (Paul Glaser) who murders to test a philosophy, stands in a limp full shirt and baggy trousers next to John Lithgow's ramrod prissy Luzhin, the rich, hollow financee of Raskolnikov's sister. The lines of character like the lines of John Braden's sets are balanced, clear and instantly defined. Bea Paipert creates two brief roles, the hunched, old pawnbroker Raskolnikov kills and a crazy madam at a police station, in maybe three minutes of stage time...
