...group's popularity peaked in early 1981, after Bobby Sands and other I.R.A. members in Maze Prison went on a hunger strike in a bid to be classified as political prisoners. But by year's end, after Sands and nine other strikers had died, sympathy for the I.R.A. had faded and the strike was called off. So far this year, more than 500 suspected members have been arrested in police raids, and violence has dropped to its lowest level since...
...scene building he goes consistently for the concrete and vivid; when characters speak from within the set a maze of scaffolding covering the back wall, skillful lighting and mime make their spaces substantive rather than symbolic. Rather than trying to fill the vast mainstage with gimmickry--as direction after director has done--Magaril and choreographer Sabrina Peck simply fill it. Good blocking spreads actors to keep the open spaces under control.

Colleges, already receiving aid applications for the 1982-83 term, could not process applications until mid-May. The ensuing confusion almost certainly scared many families away from the loan maze altogether. With the confusion came a deeper uncertainty--the one Reagan sought all along--over whether poor students have any reason or right to expect support in the first place. Harvard's March applicant pool revealed a sharp drop in the number of working-class students seeking an education...
