...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 of a Summer Night. On Turgenev's pages, the dots of suspension, and on the stage, is characters' embarrassed pauses should alone be to tell a story quite eloquent. It is a comedy, but a very special kind of comedy, one full...
...Negroes started working their way into the system. It was Macon County that elected the first black sheriff ever (or since reconstruction) in the South. (His name was Lucius Amerson. It got lots of New York Times coverage when it happened. It also turned out what he wasn't much better than the white guys, but you'd have to know the South to understand that...
...department of Agriculture, I believe). The ASCS tells farmers the quotas that limit how many acres they can plant with cotton and other crops. With whites controlling the committees, the big white farmers got as large a cotton allotment as they wanted while the Negroes, usually with much smaller farms, had to make it all balance by having their allotments shaved.

It is much better without air conditioning even if you're here in New Orleans where it's ninety something everyday with the humidity so heavy you can touch it in the air. Walking from an air conditioned room outside into the heat and then stepping back into the icebox again gives...
...Atlanta we stayed with the editors of The Great Speckled Bird, the Hippie, underground LNS paper for there. He lived on 14th Street in Atlanta, the street on which all the hippies live. It's much more difficult being a hippie in the South than it is in the North. In the North the hippies are just normal people like you and me who hold jobs or go to school and just happen to be transcendent in their private lives. There are only about 300 hippies in Atlanta estimates this editor of The Great Speckled Bird friend of ours...
