Usually, the highlights of a Mainstage production are its lavish and innovative sets and costumes. Even in this respect, however, The Tutor, though entirely adequate, is a little bit of a disappointment; if anything, the various low ceilinged sets only add to the confining quality of the drama...
...attendant criticism from opposition leaders and an unshackled press. There are signs of a drift toward a cult of personality. The back of one bus bears the florid declaration COURAGE AND CLARITY OF VISION, THY NAME IS INDIRA GANDHI.

...absolutely nothing about money." Springsteen lives sometimes with his girl friend Karen Darvin, 20, a freckled, leggy model from Texas, in a small apartment on Manhattan's East Side.

There is no American equivalent to the cold edgy handling (nightmare as literature, so to speak) in paintings by the Italian Valerio Adami. But the difference especially comes out in "domestic" figurative painting, which seems more complex and problematical - more difficult of approach - in Europe than in America. Hence the extraordinary flavor of the nudes...
