...Mold. To begin to judge Brown, one must ask how he has performed as Governor. He can claim a number of credits. He recruited young, toughly inquisitive, well-schooled officials cast much in his own mold-administrative inexperience included. (It also helped if a person had been a classmate of Brown's at Berkeley or Yale Law.) He hotly pursued affirmative action: the Governor's seven-person cabinet includes two women and one Chicano; one of his California state police bodyguards is Penelope Cravens, 27, a former stewardess. Helped mightily by a $768 million black-ink bequest from...
...BLACKS is elusive; it demands ironclad direction. While director John Kirkwood is good at smaller-scale direction--the short scenes, the more straightforward monologues, and the blocking--he fails to mold the play into a coherent whole. At times characters portray themselves, at other times they take on a variety of roles--these crucial transitions are too often undelineated.

A homogenous mass composed of the adolescent suet of the land, the Pudding remains in its 1930's mold even today. In the oak-panelled room, the chic play pool under hanging metal-shaded bulbs. They dress in vests and slick their hair back, but these kids' costumes aren't just dress-up. Anyone passing at night on Holyoke St., looking in through the lighted arched windows, can see that they finger their...
...childhood was substance rather than fantasy: tactile memories of mold, mud, woodgrain and brick became some of the most "painterly" painting in the history of art. The foreground of The Leaping Horse is all matter, and the things in it-squidgy earth, tangled weeds and wild flowers, prickle of light on the dark skin of water sliding over a hidden ledge-are troweled and spattered on with ecstatic gusto...
