Project classes are small (range: ten to 28); teachers are carefully briefed on each child's background; the children are taken on after-hours class trips, get repeated personal counseling. At George Washington, stocky, balding Counselor David Schulman, who grew up in Brooklyn...
...lack of real hope for future improvement, there was general agreement that even on the road the theater could be counted on to keep dying for a long time. The only solid way to fix stix is through clix. Said Warren Caro, executive director of Theatre Guild-American Theater: "Basically, it all goes back to Broadway.
