...terms, the greatest virtue of the production which opened at Lowell last night was its lack of pretension. Simplicity reigned throughout: one-piece, monochromatic costumes; a symmetrically arranged set composed of unbroken, speckled, pastel rectangles; small musical forces; restrained staging.

In the next five years, the nation's steel producers intend to invest about $12 billion to expand, modernize and automate. Then there is the nation's annual investment in research and development: last year it took...
Durrell is necessarily muzzy on the technical details, though he seems to be securely wired into the arcane science of linguistics, games theory and McLuhanese. The point may be that Abel is the novel, both its medium and its message; according to one of the numerous minor characters Durrell keeps on tap to spout his epigrams, "The poetry is in the putty...
