...page report reveals that mentally ill people who drink or use illegal drugs commit suicide at least twice as often as abstinent schizophrenics or manic depressives. Although these doubly cursed patients frequently show up in psychiatric hospitals and emergency rooms, they are unlikely to get much help. "These are the troublemakers," says Talbott, "the ones that everyone has given up on." Thanks in part to the easy availability of street drugs and alcohol, this hard-core subgroup is rapidly growing.

Her manic scurrying in denial of advancing age was a shrewd counterpoint to the prematurely world-weary languidness of Charlotte Cornwell, repeating her role as the friend, a disillusioned teacher of mixed-race youths. The Charleston version, which Fugard terms definitive, achieved the resonance between the mundane and the metaphysical that characterizes...
Actually, no wait a minute. Maybe. No, actually, yes. NO. MAYBE. YES. Three words. What did they mean when used as rhetorical bludgeons to render final verdicts on other words that came before or after them because of the manic tyrannical musings of the Hitlerian author...
