...guerrillas have made one strong argument in favor of their own terms for negotiation. In El Salvador's violent climate, they and their allies can legitimately fear for their lives if they lay down their arms and join the country's fragile democratic political process. In 1981, for example, six Revolutionary Democratic Front leaders were murdered after a political rally in San Salvador. Says Leftist Spokesman Ungo: "We are not so stupid as to participate in elections that will result in our ending up in a cemetery...
...that no fanatic felt driven to pry the philosopher's bearded bust off its granite pedestal, smear it with paint, or try to chisel off the nose, as had happened in the past. Throughout the day, Communist representatives from a number of countries trooped by the monument to lay bouquets of red carnations, tulips and daffodils. "Homage from the Chilean Trade Union Congress," read one card. Another floral tribute was presented "on behalf of the Marxist-Leninists in Bangladesh who cannot be here." Many residents of the city in which Marx spent the better part of his life, often...

...part, five-hour production now enlivening the stage of Minneapolis' Guthrie Theater becomes a 17th of considerable distinction. The scenic effects are accomplished with stunning finesse (heightened by Santo Loquasto's virtuoso set design of mirrored panels). Rumanian Director Liviu Ciulei (pronounced Leave-you Chew-lay), artistic director of the Guthrie, never scants the intellectual, philosophical and refreshingly comical ramifications of the play. This Peer Gynt only fitfully moves the heart, however, and that may be because Ciulei chooses to keep a tight Brechtian leash on emotion...
