Unconventional leads may have sparked the production, even if the supporting cast sagged. But both Henry Higgins (Hollander) and Eliza Doolittle (Tompsett) turn in standardized and mediocre performances. Tompsett's voice is low and well-modulated with a slight Southern softening, and though she tries to shrill, her slummy "Garn..." resonates with upper-class tonality.

...nuclear power is "too dangerous to permit it to continue and expand as a form of power generation." Perhaps.

The policy should include a plan for costly on-site waste incineration--a process which many feel may help solve transportation risks--and regional low-level dumping sites. Incoherent federal regulations governing transportation of hazardous materials must be tightened...
