Moscow was also being horrid to "hooligans." Among the first victims of a tough new law against rowdy behavior were four tipplers who had arrived high as a kite at a soccer stadium during a match. They were fined on the spot, and their sentences were announced over the stadium loudspeaker. In another incident, a mine manager drew two months' "corrective labor" for hooliganism in a restaurant. In jail he got cooked meals only every other day, on alternate days only bread, salt and water. As if that was not indignity enough, his head was shaved...

That kind of range would be difficult in any play--in The Great American...
This time she is married to Rod Taylor, who gamely shoulders the burden of manning a myth. The two have moved to England for business reasons, and Doris quickly establishes herself as an adorable young matron who is crazy about Rod, small animals and bird watchers, but detests those horrid men who hunt foxes.
