...with some--though not all--of the other major roles, the difficulties of the play reassert themselves. Bryan Falk's Claudius appears unnecessarily stiff. Certainly the King should be regal, but that need not restrict the actor who portrays him to the single tone level and rate of delivery. Somewhat the same is true of Robert Jordan, in the part of Laertes. He tends to speak too fast to let his lines be readily understood. Lisa Rosenfarb, the Queen, happily avoids these mistakes.

While a plea for badness is not easy to support...

...Steel. Scanning the statistics last week, businessmen had good reason to be optimistic. Cranking up to help supply Western Europe's oil shortage (see NATIONAL AFFAIRS); the U.S. oil industry was producing at the highest level in history, and the steel industry was straining hard to keep up with demand (see below). In Pittsburgh, U.S. Steel President Clifford F. Hood and Steelworkers Union Chief David J. McDonald formally opened a new office building at the Homestead plant, constructed out of a new kind of cost-cutting, space-saving stainless steel. Said Big Steel's President Hood: "This...
