...last year's reunion issue of The Crimson about the difficulties and rewards of working my way through Harvard at the depth of the depression. When I received my degree a year after the rest of my class in 1935, the platform was graced by Albert Einstein. Thomas Mann and others who had made great contributions to our knowledge and culture.

...quite good, the show never seriously falters. Alexis Position is the one real standout as the snippity angel who makes her entrance in enough gold lame to redo the State House dome, and who secretly longs to have. "The Devil in Me." Strong performances as well come from Anita Mann and Lou Suffer, proving once again that evil is easier to imitate than is virtue...
