...merest fault darkens his day. Rehearsing with Joan Sutherland, he could notice nothing but the graceless clumber of La Stupendas feet. The curtain bothered him when the orchestra was at its best; the lights annoyed him when the set was perfect; poor acting upset him when the singing was glorious. With a board of directors that applauds him with rubber-stamp approval, an audience that regularly fills every seat, and a local gentry that promises in advance to make up the final deficit in his budget, San Francisco Opera Director Kurt Herbert Adler remains on the critical list...
Alike in an abhorrence of war and the inhumanities perpetrated on man by men, two plays, one German and one English, have recently gained acclaim in England. The Rabbit Race, by Martin Walser, and Oh What A Lovely War, produced by the London Theatre Workshop under the direction of Joan Littlewood, offer a contrast in the methods by which members of the cold war generation have tried to excite the conscience of their audience.

Preparing for the intelligent use of force, Joan holds judo sessions for the staff, and that about sums up her approach to her work. Dr. Stack, in contrast, is a pioneer, a man of vision. Unfortunately, he is a generation or so behind the times, and his pioneering proceeds along a well-traveled road. He has what he apparently considers a revolutionary new idea for treating borderline cases. He calls it group therapy. The doctor likes to sit in his office and tune in, by way of closed-circuit TV, on Polly Bergen, Janis Paige and other patients down...
