The look includes hip-length cardigans, frequently worn over pullovers. Skirts are longish, too, starting at the knee and working all the way down to the ankle. Many billow like peasant dresses. Fashion phrasemakers, with considerable wit, call them "BigSkirts...

What is most remarkable about the play is how effortlessly Rabe goes beyond the war and what is obvious to proceed with the personal story of Pavlo Hummel. It baffles classification and makes world war two dramas like Arthur Laurent's Home of the Brave look like a Yank comic strip. For Hummel the army world is his only hope for salvation, the only remedy for his fatherlessness. And in a way he makes it his salvation. Home on a furlough, his pink-suited, mod half-brother treats him with the mild contempt he always has until Hummel explodes. "Look...
