...pertinence." In its concerns, in telling of the middle-aged Natalia's (Joanne Hamlin) love for her son's young tutor Beliaev (Christopher Reeve), the play deals with quite contemporary themes: with the dominance that those who are loved have over those who love them, with the illusive freedoms men surrender in a futile attempts to capture other freedoms they can never possess. But in tone, it is quite the opposite from the explicitness and boldness that often act as blinders on the visions of modern theatre. This play's tone is much more akin to Bergman's delicate Smiles...

...shot. Civil Rights workers were murdered all the time in '66. A lady from Detroit, Mrs. Luizzo, had been killed in 1965 near Selma for riding in a car with some Negro guys. On my first story for the Courier, I and another guy were jumped by three men who tried to beat us up. We used to be stopped all the time by the local police, who committed most of the CR murders. But the biggest change now is probably in us. Even with our hair, which seems to bother them, we're not afraid of anybody

They come down from Alabama and Mississippi and upstate Louisiana to do drinking and get in their sin here. They go to strip shows and cackle and burp. They're drunk all the time in an aggressively unfriendly way. They bring their wives some of the time and swap them with their friends. They have Kodaks and stupid shirts and they never smile because they're just incredibly miserable and they come down here to reach new heights in misery. They have short hair...

...lots of fags and whores in the various bars here. You can tell the fags because they all wear jerseys like the Jefferson Airplane, and they all are together in the same place at the same time having fun and smiling. The whores are all making it up to men in the bars on the stools. You can tell they're whores because they are touching the men, something that the wives never do. I feel a lot of empathy towards the whores and fags because they are oppressed people. Authorities of various badges are always trying to stamp them...

...with two little children. During the week he flies over to Vietnam and parachutes into the combat areas to save the wounded soldiers. He does stuff for them right there while the shooting is still going on, and then flies all the way back to San Francisco with the men. Sometimes while he's on the job, they live for a while in the Phillipines, Taiwan, and Japan. He's parachuted out of airplanes over 700 times and has 11,000 hours of flying time. It's not too dangerous because they keep in training; they run about ten miles...
