...keyword to both the play and this production is balance. Much Ado, like the other plays in Shakespeare's Renaissance style (as opposed to his Mannerist and Baroque styles), exhibited a good deal of symmetry. The central tragicomic Claudio-Hero plot is balanced by the high comedy of Beatrice and Benedick and the low comedy of Dogberry and Verges. The evil bastard Don John is a foil to his genial legitimate brother Don Pedro; and these young brothers contrast with the older-generation brothers Antonio and Leonato. Don John's two male attendants (Borachio and Conrade) balance. Hero's female...
...Commons itself, restraint was the keyword. Stating the government's case was the Tories' chief Market negotiator. Lord Privy Seal Edward Heath. In a factual, detailed 10-minute speech, Ted Heath argued cogently that Britain had no intention of joining the Market at any price, but explained why he was willing to pay a fairly high price. The British people, said Heath, are living "in a period of intense change, both politically and economically. Are we to be excluded from these developments?

Dr. Sax plays poker incessantly, has a high, fiendish laugh ("Mwee hee ha ha ha").

Functionality was the keyword when Lamont was on the drafting board, and from the librarian's point of view it has lived up to this ideal perfectly. Despite increases in the number of books and in the number of people to use the building, the library staff is now smaller, than when it opened. A flexible coordination of work between Widener and Lamont makes this possible, with members of the staff scuttling through the tunnels from the old building to the new to meet rush hour demands. The worst press comes at night and on noon Saturdays, when reserve books...
