...successfully represents the haughty conservatism of the old English upper class. Doug Kruse's Mazzini Dunn evinces the innocence and naivete of a man taken in by Mangan but fails to provide the minimal amount of dynamism necessary to cast him as the idealistic political orator for the revolutionary movement...
...stereotyped figures on their way to Woodstock. That was when we were in the midst of Vietnam, Chicago 7, Timothy Leary and Hare Krishna. The play poked fun at everyone, including its own heroes to some degree, but some earnest zeal and anger permeated, betraying a sympathy with the movement.

The student was crying as he seized Young, and said simply, "I've got to, I've got to." The movement countered establishment codes with its own, often unreasoning, standards of conduct; but it also widened the choices open to a later, more calculating, generation of students. John C. Marquand, senior tutor of Dudley House since 1970, describes the change as a shift in the College administration, a move...
