...white-thatched Douglas, 74, emphasizes his past contributions to such legislation as social security and federal aid to education. Says Percy, 47: "My opponent views the future through a rearview mirror." The G.O.P. challenger-whose campaign has swiftly recovered momentum lost during a three-week moratorium imposed after the murder of his daughter Valerie in September-comes down hard on the immediate, largely non-ideological issues. Percy emphasizes inflation, tight money and racial disorders, condemns Douglas' you-never-had-it-so-good refrain as "materialistic," and largely untrue; last week Percy launched a four-day whistle-stop train trip...
Slightly Embarrassing. The Fort Worth prosecutor promptly tested McKinley Powell, 36, another Negro truck driver, who had been accused of murder last June. Powell also passed-whereupon his accuser confessed the crime. The day after Powell's release, the prosecutor tested Donald G. Carter, 19, who had spent three months in jail awaiting trial for a burglary that he insisted he did not commit. Carter also passed; the police rechecked his story and belatedly discovered that he was telling them the truth from the start: he was in state prison on another charge at the time of the burglary...
...still cannot understand the fascination it holds for young directors. Buechner died at 23 in 1837. He left behind, among other writings, a jumbled, partly illegible manuscript of an unfinished play based on the real-life case of Johann Christian Woyzeck, an army barber executed in 1824 for the murder of his mistress. The order of scenes in this manuscript is indeterminate; some scenes are mere fragments. The ending of the play is unclear. The dialogue in both the German original and most translations borders on psychotic gibberish...
...only imitations of ideas, swathed in anger and spectacle. The debate is something a callous director could cut down, a careless director here takes seriously and a really alert one would accelerate; it should go by like a shot. And the pacing falls off sometimes, perhaps by accident -- the murder itself should his us like an orgasm, but doesn...
...gist, Marat/Sade shows Sade's little company reenacting the death of the Revolutionary leader Jean-Paul Marat at the hand of the Royalist Charlotte Corday, before a stage audience of Charenton's director and his lady. But the murder is strung out by the philosophical intrusions of Sade, who leaves his stage-side perch to argue with Marat and deflect the action; by the blank verse narration of the herald, who prompts, cajoles and apologizes; by the petulant interruptions of M. Courmier, upset by the political content of the skit; and by the eruptions of the mental patients...
