...critics. Senior Statesman Cage is already proclaiming aleatory music passe -he prefers to think that his own brand of "indeterminacy" is the ultimate in pure chance. But he will have to go some to surpass English Composer Cornelius Cardew, 26, who in his Octet '61 for Jasper Johns* includes a vague injunction to "Do something completely different," or Argentine-born Mauricio Kagel, 30, who in his Sonant, made himself obsolete...
...wasn't that the other Jasper stars collapsed; they wore beaten. In the most thrilling race of the afternoon, don Kirkland dove to victory in the 600, nipping the Jaspers' vaunted captain Ron Green. Kirkland ran like he owned the Cage track; he seemed to move fastest on the treacherous turns. In the 600, he stayed behind McArdle and green of Manhattan, graciously allowing them to kill each other for the lead.

So much for the plot exposition...
...Winthrop players do all this, and do it well. Stanley F. Pickett as Mr. Horner is a grinning, leering wonder. Yet his part is perhaps easier than those of Mr. Pinchwife (Michael Rowan), and Mr. Sparkish (Howard Kramer), and Sir Jasper (Chuck Breyer). Rowan creates a convincing picture of a blustery old fool; Kramer is the biggest, dumbest fop you or I have ever seen; and Breyer is hilarious as the Ed Wynn-ish cuckold...
