...inside a baby's crib in Harlem. The social message is about what you'd expect, and one character even has to come right out and any it: "Too many babies are bitten every day!" ("Sometimes I'm afraid I'm going to start laughing at that line," said Kit Williams, who plays the baby and at that point is waiting with amazing realism. "It reminds me of a Unicef ad or something.") The tragic parts of the play tend of be melodramatic and over-sincere, and the come lines are often trite (there are basically two kinds of jokes...
...acting is surprisingly good, Highest praise goes to Kit Williams for a cry that even its own a mother couldn't tell apart from a real baby's.

He won with energy and charm, crisscrossing the state in a chartered Piper Seneca to speak in a faint Missouri twang to factory hands, bar groups and housewives on an issue that he has been able to mine...
...Colonel Kit Carson led his New Mexico Volunteers against the still warlike Navajos. Vastly outnumbered by the 10,000 Indians, Carson avoided open battle and waged war by burning crops and homes. The Navajos surrendered. Then their conquerors marched them 300 miles to a desolate encampment at Fort Sumner, N. Mex., where many of them died of hunger and disease. Only after they vowed never to fight again were they permitted to return to a reservation on their former lands. The weavers resumed their work, but as Berlant and Kahlenberg put it, "the pride with which a blanket was woven...
