...storyteller and Azdak in the Brechtian tradition, a very difficult one for an actor to follow. It requires that he not only play his character with full emotional understanding of the role, but that he communicate to the audience the fact that he is an actor, making his own judgement of what the character does. Azdak is Brecht's ideal man, sympathetic to the aspirations of the masses, never condemning their immorality or brutality, and always ready to assume whatever mask his situation requires. In danger of being executed by the henchmen of the governor's wife, he is servile...
...Student Council's protest is even more outlandish. Its resolution held that the Navy Department was "not entitled to make a judgement as to whether the riots were communist-instigated or not, since no legal verdict has even been rendered on that question." The statement also criticized the NROTC for requiring students to see a film "that does not in any way reflect the views of the students or faculty insofar as it purports to be historic fact rather than political interpretation."

...tragedy, not the tragedy itself. The very opening lines of the play, delivered by Philo, tell us Antony has already hit bottom--and that's where he stays. He is no longer a great man: he is vicious and sadistic; he shows signs of incipient alcoholism; his military judgement (not even Shakespeare makes credible his decision for a sea battle) and prowess (he even bungies his suicide) are quite gone. Once in a while we are told that Antony was great; Shakespeare should have shown us--but, since he didn't the actor somehow should, and this Ryan fails...
Quoting next from Judge Parker's 1955 decision on the enforcement of the 1954 Court judgement in Little Rock, Hodges held that the states are required only "not to deny anyone attendance to state operated schools." This decision calls not for integration but for the removal of discrimination in the public schools, Hodges said. With such a literal interpretation of the Parker decision, North Carolina has constructed one of the "more admirable and moderate" anti-integration schemes, The Pupil Placement Program, he declared...
