...inner meat of this play is lost in the performance. Once again, the actors (Pollock and Ward Abronski) are convincing on the surface. They look and, with a few lapses, talk like hoods. But when they are not perpetrating evil, when they are just talking among themselves like two life-sentence criminals waiting it out in jail, the play becomes dull...
...forbidding. The new home of Houston's 21-year-old Alley Theater is a child's idea of a castle-a genuine playhouse. The sandblasted concrete with its nine turreted towers glows like imprisoned sunlight; glass has succumbed to stone. And behind the facade, inner grace balances outer strength. The stairways are cascades of red-orange carpeting; the low ceilings are dimpled with lights embedded in them like flat moons, and the throwaway nooks and crannies have no function except to delight...
However, this snag can be overcome by limiting oneself to those segments of each class that are directly linked to the processes of economic production, i.e., to those groups whose economic interests completely encompass the inner-most, primary level of the working of the American economy.

Bacon's show may prove to be the most popular of the season; in the first week, all 19 oils have been either sold or reserved for prices ranging upward from $35,000 for the smallest multiple-image portraits. For nearly 20 years, he has been renowned in inner circles as Britain's finest figurative painter; his works have hung in U.S. museums since the early 1950s. His commercial success is a telling comment on just how open-minded the general public has become, for Bacon's material is, to put it simply, sick...
...Novak did not follow for fear of his own safety, but he implied that Chicago still has the best voters that money can buy. This was the kind of performance that has come to be expected of the Evans-Novak team, which avoids pontificating and concentrates on examining the inner machinery of politics. Evans and Novak were not alone in discovering election irregularities in Chicago. The Chicago Daily News reported that Democratic precinct workers were rounding up derelicts from the streets and paying them 500 each to register, even though they had not been in Chicago long enough to satisfy...
