...tape is fed to a computer, which sucks it up at inhuman speed, measuring the width of letters and counting the spaces in a swift stream of words. When it gets near the end of a line, it does what a human typesetter would do, adding spaces if necessary to fill out the line. When it comes to a word that has to be hyphenated, which happens about every five lines, it hesitates momentarily while it consults a quick-access memory.

To Albee, marriage seems to be a no-exit hell in which the only intimacy is a hopeless common damnation. But a powerful play never founders on its flaws. Albee's language is whiplash strong and leaves welts. His characters are rivetingly...
...freedom by winning a big race for the greater glory of the Guv'nor, the lad leads the way right up to the finish line-and stops. Why?
