WASHINGTON, AP-President Nixon promised the nation Monday night a Christmastime announcement of new U.S. troop withdrawals from South Vietnam, and said his current policy will bring the conflict to a conclusion no matter what happens at the negotiating table...
...applause in recognition of its own dreams of what Mick Jagger doing "Sympathy for the Devil" would be like, and sure enough, when I asked people later they could have sworn they heard calypso. Most disappointing about this particular song, and most of Jagger's vocal performance for that matter, was the absence, up until "Satisfaction," of any vocal improvisation. Much of the Stones' dynamic relies on Jagger's talent for splintering and then remaking the vocal line, a technique he borrowed from soul music and worked to perfection in masterpieces like "Goin' Home."

...sexual urges in all of us, volunteers to take on the burden of our own sadistic and rebellious reveries; in return, we pay him lots of money and promise not to remember what he does.

Lori Heineman as Irina and Andre Bishop as Andrei go even further than that, opening themselves up to let us see their entire nervous systems almost every second they are on stage. No matter how self-enclosed you are upon arrival at the Loeb during the next two weeks, you simply will not be able to pass up Heineman and Bishop's "poor" gift of their uncovered hearts. As you'll discover, Grotowski is giving poverty a good name...
