...other half of the issue contains a verse play, called A Wind of Light, by Jonathan Revere, a Dunster House senior. It describes two shallow, dissolute Italian youths who are transformed into passionate tragic characters in a play they are acting out on a hot summer afternoon. The dialogue, though rough in many places is done with some skill and the illusion of the character transformation is reasonably effective.

He has two phones in his car, spends an annual $785 in the barbershop and has an ex-wife (Lilli Palmer) who hovers about to protect her alimony, always remembering the anniversary of their divorce; she once gave him a hot-water bottle that snored. At 56, age is closing in. He wears a wrist alarm clock; when it goes off, it is time to take his pills...
