...three-cornered race, though the contest is primarily between Mario and the mayor. Procaccino started off far ahead, but his lead seems to be diminishing. Marchi is a bit off to one side in the contest, saying some of the same things as Procaccino, with more thought and less vehemence, and with a more traditionally conservative cast.

If anything, women support the present role choice, and perpetuate the system by passing the same alternatives on to their children. For a playwright to berate society for its failures is generally futile-but less futile than choosing an illegitimate scapegoat...
