Elizabeth Philip is strikingly beautiful in her photographed sequence and holds a choreographed tension throughout the play. Elizabeth Bronfen is suitably lactic and senile as Queen Victoria, while Lisa Claudy and Danielle Alexandra both flow through their mimes with professional ease and individuality. The actors are obviously competent and make do as best they can, but responsibility for their scattered incoherence must lie with the director...
This effect of the environment in the gut on the normal flora is readily recognized. For example, when breast feeding is replaced by solid food the character of the stool changes dramatically, as lactic acid bacteria (which produce sweet-smelling products) are replaced by E. coli and other foul organisms. Early in this century Mechnikov romantically hoped to promote longevity by supplying lactic acid bacteria, in the form of yogurt, to displace the presumably toxic foul organisms. The experiments were a dismal failure, but the commerical success is still seen...

Perhaps for generations, we must call on our Congress to insist upon a peace settlement that does not set a precedent for terror bombing as a legitimate and successful negotiating lactic: and we call upon the nations of the world--who today exert more influence on the United States government than its own citizens--to deny victory to the new Germans...

Carol Downer, one of the movement's founders, was accused of diagnosing a woman's illness as a vaginal infection and treating it with an application of yogurt (the lactic acid in yogurt is supposed to provide a hostile environment for some organisms; without laboratory tests it is difficult to determine whether the treatment is appropriate).

The heart pumped less frequently; the electrical resistance of the skin, an indication of emotional tension, increased markedly, showing that the meditator was relaxed; and his body produced smaller amounts of carbon dioxide. The brain's alpha waves increased in intensity-another sign of relaxation-while less lactic acid was produced in the blood, a possible indication of reduced anxiety...
