...Rosaldo, who understood the stock figures he had to work with, decided to type-cast his actors and let them exaggerate their characters. The result is some fine gusto on the stage. Bill Cloherty played Fatt, the union boss, with all the techniques of a two-bit demagogue.

But of the characters who had to think, to weigh the decisions in their lives, only Gloria Pasternak and Edwin Holstein filled their scene with meaning...

The most ominous result of these stops and starts, plan changes and equipment failures, was that rock excavation fell far behind schedule, with only 7,300.000 out of a total of 26 million tons of granite drilled...
...sense of evil's presence in the world that give the great Russian novelists their widely remarked dramatic powers, and place them ahead of everyone else in a less remarked achievement: the creation of unforgettably grotesque characters. From Mikhail Saltykov's hypocritical Yudushka ("Little Judas") Golovlev, to Ivan Goncharov's chaise-longue lizard, Ilya Oblomov, whose lumpish name has become a Russian household word for will-less sloth, Russian writing throbs with the howls and sneers of a whole menagerie of literary monsters...
